I've never seen an athletics event before with the viewing crowd in the middle of the track. I don't know which school it was, and that is probably just as well, as many of the athletes in the relay race I witnessed did not seem very serious about it. Another odd feature was that the tent on the right housed a live cover-version rock band, which, judging by an overheard conversation with the mayor as he left, was made up of school pupils. The sugar factory silos are visible in the distance.
