Water Puppet Show






























Tonight since we laid low today, we decided to go to see the Water Puppets. There is a history to them (very ancient) and they started long ago by farmers in the rice paddies, but I need to learn more about the story. Before the show, some musicians performed traditional Vietnamese music. Ian loves music (especially being sung to) and rhythm (drumming patterns on the bed or anywhere else) so I figured he'd love it, but it was very loud so I thought he might be scared. He fell asleep awhile, then really watched the show. We have noticed that it seems that he is o.k. as long as we are there or are holding him. It is like he figures we brought him there so it must be o.k. He really does very well with a lot of situations (which should come in handy with the marathon plane ride home - yikes).

Anyway, here are some pics. It was hard to get really good ones since it was dark and there was a lot of movement (and we are still learning about how to use our new digital camera). It was very cool...
