That Jo is such a tease....she had her camera handy when these guys, straining, carried this whole pig out of the kitchen. I did have a roast duck for lunch ( Jo wouldn't eat eat because she's gotten too attached to the ducks at the Botannical Gardens. It was too greasy anyway ).

It was a fun day. My Chinatown post will be out in a few days.

There are certainly lots of beautiful shades of yellow in these photos. I really like your second photo of the apartment building. Great perspective on that shot.

The yellow under the balcony on the apartment building really grabs my attention. Love the vibrant colors which reflect the vibrant life of the people.
