Marionettes!

Yesterday, my host sister showed me around Cerro Concepcion.  After walking for a bit, we ran into a man asking if we would take some time to watch his show.  We finally agreed and sat down in the grass.  He turned on some music and began the show.  He had 7 marionettes, all handcrafted: a snail, a fly, a mosquito, a spider, an ant, a dog, and a man.  He would pick them up one by one, do a little show with it until the song ended, and then move onto the next one.  Then he started to combine them.  The story ended with the spider capturing the ant, and the man rescuing it...a little bizarre, but cute nonetheless.  It was definitely some good local entertainment!
