More dominos

These are the opposition to the photo posted below. This was a highly animated game. It is decidedly different from the chess matches that also are prevalent in the parks, streets, and outside the doors of homes. It is abundantly clear that there is not a lot of work going on in many of these neighborhoods. I guess that is the lot of many third world countries. This way of passing time is not the province of old men, it involves young ones as well. Bound to be unsatisfying to young, educated men who simply can't find a job. Most of them are anxious to talk about life in the US and they are interested in learning about places other than Miami. Questions like "can you get a better job in Detroit than in Miami?" are common.
