Today was one of those mysterious, cloudy days, with rain here and there. The clouds and fog move in and out around the clouds, making a continually changing panorama.
The Lugano Lakers junior team played the team from Basel. Basel didn't have many players able to come to this game, so it began as a one-sided game and the Lakers were making easy touchdowns. At half-time the coaches decided to just practice with each other, since the Basel team was having to play both ways.
So needless to say, it was not an exciting afternoon of football!
However, I must say that often when it rains here in Lugano, it rains gently and straight down. I was able to stand outside at a rainy football game, holding my umbrella, and at the end, my shoes were not even wet! Not even the slightest breeze to push the rain onto my legs and feet. Everyone uses umbrellas here, because it is actually possible to use an umbrella! Not like in Chicago!
I can't believe it... I'm searching for info about the Fulbright Program (for my job) thru Google, I end up on a page about a teacher named Rick that did an exchange some times ago in Lugano, then I find your blog, and I put 2 and 2 together. On one thing you are wrong, this drizzling rain we are having isn't really typical. Instead, when it rains, it usually pours... that is to say we had an unusual Scottish spring here in Ticino ;) By the way: who am I ? Well I had a raibow umbrella and was standing beside you on top of the skating park terrace, waching the game :) I see you the next home game!
