During the past weekend of July 12-14, the 58th edition of the National Craft Fair of Barranquitas was held.

The National Crafts Fair of Barranquitas is one of the two most recognized festivals in Barranquitas and the oldest of its kind in Puerto Rico. From its discreet beginning in 1959 until now, the exhibition of handicrafts has grown to bring 200 artisans or more and thousands of visitors during this weekend every year.

My intention was to go to the Fair to have a good time and take photos and videos to share here.

I could not.

My right foot and ankle was hurting so much that I could go. I was afraid that everything I had to walk there would make me worse. So I missed it this year.

I hope that next year I can go and share what happens when I'm there.

Hello Mr. janton! I developed Charcot foot syndrome due to diabetes and diabetic neuropathy. It weakens the muscles in the area which can cause the bones to deform, fracture, or break. I ended up with several fractures in the foot and ankle. I now have a hardware stores supply of screws and rods in the right leg and I have to use a crow boot for life.
