A long way for young athlets

My 13 year old son and his friends has to travel a long way to compete in athletics.

The distance is far between the people of the county.
So the parents try to help. By driving about 40 miles to a gathering of young athletes. Just for one weekend.

This weekend we went to the northernmost town in the world, Hammerfest.
The facilities were spartanious.
When sleeping we were lying on the hard floor of a school.

But the kids were eager to compete. Some did very well. Others did it just for fun. And the parents tried to support their kids as best they could.

The sun was shining.
Just outside the stadium some reindeers were looking lazily at the noise. So used to the humans that they stroll along the streets, looking for flowers to eat in the gardens.

And then; Sunday afternoon.
Time to go back. Driving 40 miles again.
