What amazed me was to see all those other people on the beach. More than 30.000 people gathered (I know because one organization had come and handed out that many glasses and they were all gone when we came). The of the sun is more popular than many pop stars. Good to know!

Turns out people are really into cardboard boxes and pinholes 😎
