We were watching a gold mining demonstration

A few flecks, yes. Enough to keep him going. His quizzical expression may come from hearing what he had just said being translated.

Our guide was terrific. Here's her profile: Affectionately called "Machita" ("Blondie"), Margrit is one of our most cosmopolitan guides with a family that hailed from Switzerland, France, and Germany before settling in Costa Rica's capital city San José where she was born and raised. Hence she blends the well-organized, perfectionist, and detailed personality of a Swiss watch with the easiness and effervescent enthusiasm of a simple tropical girl.

Fitbit...that's what I was thinking, still, I am very fond of the quizzical expression on the miner's face. Traveller

And that looks like a smart watch on her wrist to boot, but what I really want to know is did any gold nuggets or flecks show up. Paul
