The following pictures (below) are of sugar fields in Bilbao. These fields are HUGE and all over the place. They let them grow for 6 months at a time, and then they harvest. The leaves on sugar are really sharp and can cut you, so to harvest them, they light the entire field on fire. All of the leaves burn off, leaving the sugar cane, and then the trucks come and pick it up. There is so much fire that all of the ash actually gets blown away in the sky, and then falls on the ground and houses and everything, and leaves inches of black stuff everywhere. Way interesting!
Below:In the middle of the fields they have all of these ancient mayan stones that you can just go and look at by yourself.
