More things we saw ...

We've actually done a lot more than shows up in the blog. Here are a few highlights -

-Water puppets. This was really cool. The puppets are in water and are operated by sticks under the water. There were puppet fisherman trying to catch fish, dragons chasing each other, a procession of dignitaries - just an amazing variety of puppets, all in the water.

- Fine arts museum. This was our favorite museum. It had an excellent collection of artwork from ancient art to modern day. We found it so interesting that the military showed up in many pieces of art. In fact, a good third of the artwork contained soldiers - fighting is such a part of their history and culture. And there was hardly anyone in the museum, so we had all the time to browse and enjoy.

- "Our restaurant". We found a great restaurant right near the hotel and it has become our spot. When we arrive the waitresses take Tyler and play with him until we're done eating. Tyler loves it! We've had eel, rabbit, crocodile, black fish (whatever that is), and lots of squid. It kind of feels like it's our own dining room.
