Whirling Dirvishes


Saturday, we went to a town called Aibonito for a festival (more on that in a minute) Of course, there was a huge concert, and a carnival, and crafts and games. This one really caught my fancy - I love how old the game is, and that it's still being lugged around to carnivals, and I love that it is still the biggest draw from all of the games. People were lined up to place their bets each spin. And the spins, incidentally, are still done by a man with a long crank handle. No automation or electricity just adds to the charm.
