Saturday - fitting in the last few things before leaving.













We visited someone who makes the traditional Rotenese musical instrument - the sasando. Since Yonson is from Rote Island he explained a bit of the background. A young boy played the instrument (somewhat like the sound of a harp), then the dad came out to play the bongos, then the mother came out to show us the dance and finally a little boy came to show us his dance - a fast paced, foot moving dance that took a lot of energy.
