Technology bah hum bug

After the initial contact with Dan and Laura via Voxer I thought communication would be great.  I obviously was wrong and this region is not technologically with the times.  In one way that is hard because I do not know what is happening but in another way I am glad there are still places on earth where life does not revolve around texting, chat rooms, and the internet.  Maybe people will actually carry on meaningful conversations and look at who they are talking to or sitting across from during this adventure.
