Welcome to the home of the Lazare Family - Grand Fond, Dominica.
The Family
Mrs. Lazare, Gweneth, (aka Shi Shi) is most definitely the head of the Lazare household. She lives with her husband, Andrew, her grandson Anton, and her two adopted young children, Jonika and Johnson. They also have a cat named Tiger - so beware.
Shi Shi is the head of restaurant and housekeeping here at Rosalie Forest, Anton, 22, is a fireman and a qualified tour guide, and Andrew, whilst currently unemployed, is working on an extension to the family home. Jonika and Jonhson are 12 and 13 years old respectviely, and both attend Castle Bruce secondary school.
The accommodation.
The Lazare family home an interesting mixture of modern and traditional Dominican architecture, with an old coal pot wooden structure kitchen, the original wooden part of the house, and the new concrete extension being built by Andrew.
They have a tv, and phone, and live a relatively humble life. There are two guest rooms available in the, original, tradiotional part of the house, which are basic and comfortable. Any guest from Rosalie Forestor any village member, can vouch for the food, which is normally taken with the family together, in the living room and not at a dining table; a very Dominican way to do things! Shi Shi is not always present for dinner, as she is catering to the rest of the Rosalie Forest hunger needs!
To Do
Play games with Janika and Johnson; drink and play dominos, drink and play dominos, and drink and play dominos with Anton, but deal with the wrath of Shi Shi when you get home! Anton is also lead singer in the local reggae and calypso star band, The Blazing Squad.
Alternatively, chat and socialise with Shi Shi and Andrew, or if it is Sunday, the family are very involved in the local Catholic church.
