Poly-Face Farm

The weekend after we got back from Jamaica, we drove down to the Shenandoah Valley in Viriginia with Mark's parents and stayed in a bed n' breakfast there.

On Friday we saw Shakespeare's "Henry V" in a cool replica of The Black Friar (which was one of the two original theatre's Shakespeare wrote his plays for). I didn't get any pictures, but it was very cool. Actors played many different characters. The audience may as well have been sitting on stage (and some were!) because the actors wandered out into the seats whenever they felt like it during big speeches. King Harry himself jumped of the stage and stepped along on the empty seats during a speech. It was VERY fun. Armor costumes were made out of catchers gear. :)

Then on Saturday we went to THE famous Poly-Face farm from Michael Pollan's Omnivore's Dilemma. The farm was everything I expected times ten. It was absolutely the most beautiful pastures of lush grass and dandelions. We got to talk to Joel Saladin's wife as well (Theresa, I think it was...she was pretty cool) :)
