Cinnamon in Haiti

Hi Andy,

this is not cinnamon but anis - very good spice for colds and coughs.....

By the way, if you want to come to Uruguay, I have a bed for you in Montevideo. I live now with my new German partner and we enjoy the sun and the sport club next door. And we are buying a sail boat, too......

hi Andy

Believe that would be star anise.
