insectary

I had the egg and vegetable scramble for breakfast. We got going at 8:30 and went to the beneficial insectary. This was a pretty neat place. We learned that they grow bad bugs to feed the good bugs. What a surprise. Our next stop was the Ventura ag museum. This is a well done museum of old farm implements, tractors, etc next to the RR tracks in a converted Lima Bean warehouse. The young man from Monday night did an excellent job showing us around. He was much more comfortable in his own building among some of the exhibits he designed and was quite animated explaining to us how this all worked. Lunch was a Guac demo in Tia Babes. We had Tostadas, mine was pork. After dinner we went to the Hansen learning farm run by the university. This was pretty good - Jose gave us a talk about the center and ag in Ventura county then we did a wlaking tour of the grounds looking at various crops. Fun. We came back incredibly tired. We had a dinner upstairs of a pork stir fry with rice and chocolate covered strawberries for desert. Can't believe it but we climbed into bed at 8:30. I continued to read a little.
