Bogota, Colombia has a huge fair every year around Christmas. This fair has about 4 buildings that are each as big as the school! When you go to the fair you have to go all day in order to see everything. All the things at the fair are hand made. There were baskets weaved with designs such as people or zig-zags. There were also many wooden toys at many sections. I think that most of the stands sold hammocks. We bought two chair hammocks.
My dad gave me $50,000 Colombian pesos (about $28.00 US dollars) to spend. With this money I got a troll that is said to be good luck. I also bought a miniature nativity set made out of tagua. Tagua is the seed of a South American river palm tree. The last thing I picked out was a wooden bird that flaps in the wind. This bird is made out of pure wood. I was so tired at the end of the fair!
Saludos,
Coco
