My esposo fondly speaks of
his time spent with his abuelo on the
finca. (Mi
esposo uses the word Chacra which
originates from the Quechua language.)
On the finca, el abuelo grew
lots of different things, especially citrus.
But I remember hearing that he also grew caña de azúcar. So when I
saw cañas in Wholefoods, I knew I had
to buy one so that Sofía could see what one looked like. If Sofía lived in Perú or Colombia, surly
she would already have sipped some guarapo
(juice from sugar cane) and witnessed the machine extracting the juice at one
of the various roadside stands.
Luckily we have YouTube to help keep in touch with our heritage!
