Lent Photo a Day: Tejo

A very traditional Colombian game is called Tejo. When Katie was studying at the Spanish institute they held different cultural events. One of these was a trip to play Tejo, which I was also invited to participate. It is basically throwing a stone, about like a hockey puck, across the room and trying to get it to hit a piece of paper folded up with gunpowder inside. So the successful throw leads to an explosion. The game is a lot of fun! You can see the papers folded up like a paper footbal in the mud slab.
