My grandfather grew up in Puerto Rico.When he was nine, his mother, in search of opportunity, came to the United States, leaving him behind to live with an uncle.Every morning my grandfather walked to school; every afternoon he walked home.Easy to envision.Just close your eyes.Rather than carry all his books back and forth every day, my clever grandfather realized he could leave them in a cave on the way home, then pick them up the next day on the way to school.
