Sugar!

     Especially at this time of year we all like our sweets.  We like that sugar!  Thought you might like to see where some of it comes from.  Growing sugar cane is a big deal here.  On the road to Quisqueya, the branch we attend for church, there are sugar cane fields.  The other day we noticed a HUGE machine turning into the road by the cane field.  Earl thinks it is the cane cutter.  Must have been expensive to bring that here because it is so big.  It probably put a lot of people out of work too.  I don't have a picture of that, but here is one of the cane field.

In front you see squash growing on the left.  You may enlarge to see the cane better.

Then, you may want to chew on a piece of cane.  Don't try going into the field to get it.  You could get shot.  However, you can buy a cane from one of these guys selling it.  Seems a little tough to me.
