August 4, 2011 Day 7 Bike ride, drive around the lake, Shakespeare Festival

This morning we took Ashley with us on the bike ride. We went on the trail at the South end of the Lake. There several restored old estates to look at, and of course the beautiful lake. It is a paved trail in a very picturesque area of Tahoe.

We drove around the 72 miles of Lake Tahoe. Emerald Bay is the most beautiful area. One of our stops was Tahoe city. That is where the lake flows into the Truckee River. There is a dam there that controls the river flow. Just so many beautiful places along the way.

We attended the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival held at Sand Harbor State Park. It is in an outdoor theater looking out over the lake. The seats are all beach chairs in the sand looking down to the stage. We saw "Twelfth Night". The performers were wonderful and it was "Great Fun In A Matchless Setting" as stated in the brochure.
