Diario Libre carries the story of Francisco del Rosario, the Dominican consul in Alaska, who recently visited the province of Peravia to donate medical supplies. Del Rosario told reporters that there are 10,000 Dominicans living in the coldest state of the US. According to the Diario Libre, this confirms that there are Dominicans living everywhere. The newspaper columnist reminds readers of the anecdote about the Dominican who was obliged by bad weather to land in Alaska. A baggage carrier at the airport invited the gentleman to go to ?La China?s? for a ?sancocho? (the typical Dominican stew) that would make him lick his fingers. The very surprised visitor enjoyed the excellent repast, and jokingly said: ?the only thing missing from this feast is a drink of Barcel? rum.? To which his hostess, La China, said: ?Blanco, A?ejo, or Extra Viejo. How would you like it??
