Hey Cactus, I know your family is from Peru, but do you know your ancestry? I just thought of how cool it would be if you were descended from the old Inca Empire.

Both my parents are Mestizos (meaning that I’m one as well), meaning that we have both European and Amerindian ancestry. Mom’s side trends more to the Amerindians, and my Dad’s side trends more to the Spaniards.

Also, one of my friends is also Peruvian, and her mom’s family is descended from the Andes regions (whereas my family is from the desert coasts and ports). They probably have more Quechua/Inca blood in them than I do.
