Anguilla
Our Posts about Anguilla
I don’t remember the actual first time I fell in love with the game of dominoes, but I imagine the scene was much like this slice of life video shot in Anguilla. Four older guys seriously studyin’ each and every move of the man to his right, while also trying to take cues from his partner directly across the table. There’s a lot of nuance to such a simple game; each wink, nod, scratch or grunt potentially carrying some meaning that could tip the scales toward victory. Tap your bones if you can’t play, slam dem for emphasis when you feelin’ good!

As noted here, my one and so far only stop in Anguilla left a very positive impression, though it was far too short for me to gain any even remote expertise on the island. So, when UC reader, Youthman Ian Nisbett, approached us via Facebook for pointers on things to see and do here ahead of an upcoming visit, I was at a loss. Outside of touting the exceptional friendliness of the people and the strong capabilities of the island’s small airport toward hosting a press conference, I really had no other first-hand knowledge to impart.
Ever anxious to please our readers, I sought out the sage advice of an uncommon traveler with an informed expertise abject obsession with all things Anguilla.
Last week we told you about a not-so-flavorful rum from an island bursting with tropical spices. This week, we’re switching things up by turning our spotlight on a wonderfully tasty blend from an island with very little capacity to produce… well, much of anything.
The rum is called Pyrat (pronounced pirate), and it hails from the island of Anguilla.
Like my experience in Grenada, my one and only stop thus far in Anguilla was extremely brief. Still, this amazing little island left a BIG impression on me. I was literally there for an hour as part of a press tour. We flew in, conducted a press conference at the airport, and left.
