WORTH A TRIP
OJAI'S PINK MOMENT
Ojai is famous for the rosy glow that emanates from its mountains at sunset, the so-
called 'Pink Moment.' The ideal vantage point for catching the show is the peaceful
Wed-Sun). Head east of downtown on Ojai Ave (Hwy 150) for about 2 miles, turn left at
Boccali's farm-stand restaurant and drive another 2.5 miles on Reeves Rd until it dead-
ends.

Artsy iguanas lurk everywhere at this funky architect-designed inn - on adobe walls
around Mediterranean-tiled fountains and anywhere else that reptilian style could bring out
a smile. Roomy bungalow and cottage suites are unique, and the pool is a social scene for
LA denizens. Rates include continental breakfast; two-night minimum stay on weekends.
Some pets allowed with prior approval only.
For a more romantic atmosphere, try the sister Emerald Iguana Inn, just north of down-
town.
