Roseau, Anchorage Hotel

She said: Just a few more words before leaving lovely, friendly Dominica. First off, many of the Dominicans have surnames that we think of as first names; Frederic, Peter and Paul. The most prevalent surname, however, is Joseph. We were told that a full 5 pages of the Dominica phone book is devoted to the surname of Joseph. Second - The last two nights that we were waiting for good weather we went to the Anchorage Bar (and hotel). There we met other cruisers and were charmed by the young, handsome bartender - Earl Joseph!! He made a rum punch that would knock your socks off and you wouldn’t even realize it!!! He gave me his secret recipe (which includes going to a cinnamon tree and shaving some fresh bark as well as picking up a fresh nutmeg from under the tree and grating it into the punch!!) So when you visit, I will make you an Earl Joseph rum punch. (But please don’t ask for the recipe, I promised him I wouldn’t give it away J )
