New beginnings, part 1

Canadian Geese. The Goose Station (a play on "dégustation" and the fact that the chef-owners love foie gras and feature it in many of their dishes) at Bonifacio Global City, where our college group had a despedida dinner for our dearest Vic and Cecile who have migrated to Canada in search of a better future for their children.

    Your back at last! So happy to have you back in the fold. Glamorous shot. Thanks for including the play on French. Would have missed that.

    Nice to see our posts again.

    I guess it makes sense to celebrate people going to Canada at a restaurant named for geese. Your friends will be seeing lots of geese. And they may be keeping themselves warm with coats and bedding containing goose down

    Glad to see you're back! I'm not so fond of fois gras, but I like the name of this place, very original.

    Hello dear Hilda! I'm glad you came knocking... I've not been blogging daily either, with my plate full of work here in Romania (no, I have not left Manila, but am here on a four-month project; it's half way now). Like everyone else, I am glad to see you back. I hope you had a restful and productive break. I'm so sorry to hear people still feel they need to leave the Philippines to give their children a better future. (My work, btw, is about migration.)
