tangerines

French toast breakfast and an attempt to get my order straightened with Verizon regarding removing the Sports package and downgrading the TV service. I was not very successful with Verizon which caused me to be last on the bus screwing around with this stuff. We left for Ojai where we visited the Pixie Tangerine company, a small organic grower. It was pretty interesting going through the fields with this guy who has tried to find a niche in the citrus industry. We met his wife as well. We got samples of the tangerines from this operation. Next stop was the Ojai Olive company where we visited the groves, got a lecture on growing olives then went into the pressing room and finally the tasting room. We enjoyed the Olive company and the good olive oils. We had lunch downtown at the Ojai Beverage Company and afterwards went to a tasting room in downtown Ojai and tasted various red and white wines. I liked the cute French girl serving us. She said she's a French teacher in the High School but currently on maternity leave. Libbie and walked up to the mission in downtown Ventura and then back down to the Promenade and home. Dinner was an Italian buffet and Bananas Foster demo which we had for desert. Afterwards we watched 2 movies, one on Farm Worker housing and the second on urban sprawl in Ventura. Went back to try dealing with Verizon some more. They couldn't help me until tomorrow because the order is in but it's wrong. |
