A Perfect Day on the Road

 Some kind of "Thing" was going on last Sunday. Naturally, not willing to join in on the 12 hour Ad Fest, we went for a little drive with a few friends in odd Froggy Cars. Yep, Stupid Bowel Sunday is the best time to Hit the Road. No one else is, once they are ensconced in front of the Big-Screen-Food-o-Rama. We don't get it. 


Our little drive was a fairly usual one, up to Ojai for lunch at Boccali's and a stop on the way at Bennet's Bee Farm to stock up on jars of Blackberry and Avacado Bee Juice near Fillmore. 


The weather was perfect, the roads were clear, and We set off with TWO other DS Wagons, a DS Sedan, a CX Diesel, and a Traction-Avant. A couple of people in "normal" cars joined as well, but we won't talk about those. 


As usual, the few others out and about waved and thumbs-up us, marveling at a convoy of such oddities. All the cars ran well, the climb up to Ojai from Santa Paula was gorgeous and thankfully, road crews had cleared the the road from the recent rain-induced mudslides. 


The upside of all the rain we had in SoCal in January has made the hills alive with greenery, splashed with oceans of yellow mustard. Lots of blue skies and fluffy (and occasinonally threatening) clouds, and temps in the 60s. Even the Dreaded 210 on a Sunday afternoon was a clear shot! What could be better? 


So, here's the usual photos, the in-car stuff was the doing of Marianne and her new iPhone. Nice stuff there, dear!
