Live From The Himalaya Mountains

Goji berries-ancient Himalayan
health phenomenon.

I tried some Goji berries
live from the Himalaya Mountains.
Definately not as good as the
wild blackberries I searched for
and devoured as a child in the
backwoods of Georgia and Florida.
No chance I'll be climbing Mt. Everest
to pick any goji berries in the wild.
Not as long as I can buy them at Longs.

Longs is a chain of
drug stores in Hawaii.

Good idea, sometimes...
To stick to what you know.

Nice write!!

Thank you Drauntz and JL for the nice commments...
Goji berries are allright with me...I'm sure they are a healthy choice...but they are bitter while blackberries tend to be sweeter...James

You got a little chuckle out of me, Island Man! For a moment there, I thought I was going to be calling you "Mountain" Man! lol

Aloha hugs,

Me too, Linda, wondered what James was doing in the Himalaya Mountains!
Thank you dear James for this revelation ... bittersweet!
I have heard of these miraculous berries, but as long as I have my black berries (mirtilli .... mmmmmm)I think I can do without.

Love,
Margherita
