Last night we headed to the home of a local water puppet master. This extraordinary man makes all his puppets and performs locally, nationally, and even internationally! His home was filled with his puppets. He and his wife sit in the water to manage the puppets, behind the water pond. After some tea they gave us a performance on the third floor of their home.
Today, we took a five minute ferry across the Nhu Nguyet River to the town of Tho Ha. After stopping by the local market, we went to the home of the chief of the town, and learned how to make rice paper from his wife and daughter.
The chief told us about his time in the North Vietnamese Army fighting along the Ho Chi Minh trail, and his family life for several generations in the village.
