West, Meet East

History tells us that over the centuries, people have been inspired to take off across the world in hot pursuit of two things: God and spices. Portuguese explorers sailed all the way around the tip of Africa to get to India and its turmeric — so we don’t want to hear any complaints about how far Homestead is when we suggest a visit this weekend to Fruit and Spice Park (24801 SW 187th Ave., Homestead).
