Fanoi




Once again we vistited a few bonfires/fanoi on Sunday night. We dance around three of them. I guess there were about 15 fanoi but I'm not sure. It's tradition that if you aren't able to visit all of them, then you should visit an odd number of them. 


Kneeling was part of the dance... my knees were killing me the next day!

  3. Three is not only odd, but prime, which seems especially good.
