Old Boys' Toys


On the weekend, Menton went to town with a nautical festival - high-speed racing boats and a great atmosphere. On the Sablettes beach, enthusiasts of remote-controlled model boats put on a fabulous display. Some of the model boats are worth between 800 and 1500 euros. Interestingly nearly all the participants were somewhat older men.

Fun !
(Australians would be out there swimming and splashing about but Europeans have other ways...)

That's a weird photo when you don't know that's a toy! It looks so real!

I say--- get a life, buddy! There have to be more exciting things to do at your age. hahaha

Some old boys prefer other games, distractions...! :-)

IPhone, IPad, ITouch, IPod, in the hands of the far younger.....a question of generation !

Love the last photo the most. If I hadn't seen the earlier ones or read your post, I would have been wondering about the little orange guy. Greetings from Mindless Mumbai.

I'm LOL at Peter's comment. Well what more can I say. The "somewhat older" crowd needs to have some fun as well! :)
