Handmade in Călimănești

My visit to Călimănești was fantastic.

My partness couldn't come with me but I went with our great friend Andrea.

In the first moment we wanted to go to Dăesti but it was impossible because we didn't have transport, so finally we went to Călimănești, a place known like a spa town.

When we arrived it was very difficult to find someone to speak and we decided to see Mănăstirea Ostrov, the first nuns moastery in Romania.

After the visit, we continued to look for people to speak and when we though that we didn't find anything, we found an interesting man who work in handmade wood. He showed us his home and his art, then we saw his work in live action; It was great!

He told us that he learned from his father but now the young people aren't interested in to learn this tradition how is the handmade wood and the traditions are losing. New generation doesn't take care about the traditions that always been in our life.

As a part of this generation I can understand that now we have new tecnology to make things easier but I think that learn and preserve the traditions it's important because it's part of our history and it can be an important thing to be accomplished like person for the fact to know, because more that a tradition, it's something that you make for yourselves with their imperfections and merits with out machines, and that is amazing.

The handmade isn't something to remind, it's something to continue.

Remember: The machines can do things easier, but with out human they couldn't exist.
