The Macro Mondays group’s theme for 6/7 is board game pieces. I chose the strategy game mancala which one source said could have been invented as long ago as 7000 years in Egypt. It consists of a board, today usually made of wood, that has cups carved in. Stones which were probably originally actually stones are placed in each cup and the players move them around the board, trying not to lose their turn. Since the stones have long since disappeared, these are replacement ones for our game.

French Quarter, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.
I stayed for the second time in this historic hotel and made several stops in this bar (which does turn 360 degrees keeping the view quite interesting... )
