Hanoi water puppets

Tomorrow we leave for a 7 day adventure to the Northeast part of Vietnam - we'll be going over mountain passes, trekking, cycling a bit and visiting small villages.  It's doubtful that we'll have much internet access, so after today only scheduled posts will appear - ones that we're uploading now, scheduled to appear every few days.  We'll report on our trip North when we get back.

On Saturday we had a very enjoyable time at an outdoor water puppet show.  There was live music, and a narrator who gave us an idea of what was about to happen.

Before the show; in days gone by they would perform in flooded rice paddies

Fire breathing dragons
Musicians playing traditional instruments

The puppeteers came out from behind the bamboo screen to great applause
