One day I found an advertisement in the newspaper which promoted the biggest car festival in Colombia. It is a wonderful show with almost every big brand of car displaying their advances in technology and construction. I was excited and couldn’t wait.

I went to this event in order to know more about cars and see the progress of the industry. That morning there were many rain clouds in the sky which I believed was bad news. However, it wasn’t a problem for me. Suddenly, I hit the road without fear. So I arrived at “Corferias” where the cars were waiting for me. To my disappointment I noticed a flood of water in my front window and I saw how my day was slowly transforming into a very wet day. I didn’t expect how beautiful cars can look even if they are wet.

 

Although the large exhibition continued, the stormy day ruined the drifting segment in just a moment, but I enjoyed my time there anyway. I drove an expensive car and I won’t forget that because the water was involved in every situation that I experienced. In addition, I went to my girlfriend’s house to discuss our next day, which we had been planning for a long time. We booked a beautiful place in the middle of Colombia.

Once I was on the road, I encountered a very deep hole which was completely full of water. If I had known that my car would have broken down because of the water, I would have avoided it, but I didn’t. I spent half of my night waiting for my father who arrived in his 4×4 to tow my car. Clearly, my next day seemed ruined. I went to bed waiting for the news about my car, which was at the mechanic’s already. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive any news until 3 days later. On top of that my girlfriend was very angry and my account was emptied ;-(
