Each town in my country has traditional things which symbolize part of our culture, like sculptures, clothes made by hand, jewelry, leather articles, and many crafts. So, during the whole year, people from different towns go to places called Ferias in big cities in the country to exhibit these crafts in order to show their abilities and to make money. The places also have a big area where you can eat and play. Families go to these Ferias, especially on Sunday, to have fun and buy some things for themselves or for their houses. These Ferias are more popular in touristic cities, and they are open the whole day. Foreign people buy a lot of these articles for souvenirs, which help them remember the wonderful time they had in Colombia. When I see the happiness that people show in their faces as they explain to everybody why the articles are important things in our country, I realize how important this tradition is.
