Originally posted by slowpez Great series Dave and nice to see kids having fun without being glued to a piece of modern technology. All those kids and not a cell phone in sight. Amazing.
Thanks Susan I know !! Although in Costa Rica almost everyone has a Cell phone - the plans are so anyone can afford them I think the higest you can get is like $10.00/mo unlmited, so I am sure there have them somewhere.

Thanks Dave exactly - tis human nature to bitch and whine the current generation does it as well jut in a different context (damn it I can't get past this level!) and I agree , I am going to start telling stories of how I only had a rock and a stick to play with and I was damn happy
Originally posted by Bob Harris Kids will be kids they say, but I have a couple of grand kids that would be lost outdoors. They always have something in their hand or up to their ear, the old way is the best way I think.
Thanks Bob agree - hopefully they will get it when the get older.
