We set out from Portland, after much game playing, doughnut eating, and book browsing. We brought two Portland computer whizzes--Rich and Ruben--together for the first time. Emily and I make things happen, and touch people's lives.
Emily drove 5 hours to Ashland, Oregon, home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. The OSF is, according to a native Oregonian, "one of the crown jewels of Oregon." Well, that is no overstatement. We saw an excellent production of a new play, and could tell right away that some of the best theatre in the US is happening OSF. Great acting. The town is a cool little tourist town, with mountains in the background and lots of coffee and book shops. So I have to figure out who to sleep with in order to get a job there. We tried to make an appointment with them, but they are completely cast for 2008. Well, we'll keep knocking on their door.
Drove the rest of the way to Sacramento, where we are staying with another couch-surfer. This guy has just couch-surfed all over Argentina. Que excelente! I'm a nerd.

Bret and Emily,
I am in awe and envious of your experiences! My brother lives in Portland and I've never been there!
Sounds like you are inspired by every new path you cross and you just never know where this will lead you! How exciting! Be sure to call when you are back in Rochester for a visit and a home cooked meal. Love and be safe!
