She used to make salted duck eggs and her signature dish was braised duck with yam (taro). Such memories are sweet. I bet your kids will experience the same. As for the geese, I always avoided them. I was scared whenever they pointed their beaks at me and chased after me!Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102266899310858136.post-73961801043898410062011-07-20T19:59:17.250-04:002011-07-20T19:59:17.250-04:00Beautiful place!
