lol, what soccer? I haven't seen any sign of it yet.
But then, the parks I've walked past thus far are small things in the middle of intersections of multiple roads ("piazza" in the local parlance) or in a wide middle strip between lanes of traffic, so there wouldn't be room for such games. I did see a bocci set up in one of them though.
Indeed, I'm not bothered what prompts people to build amazing architecture, be it praise to their god or base reasons of self-glory, but I'm delighted that they do.
Well, I don't yet know what the other seasons are like--thus far I've seen the first two weeks of July, which have been hot--temps in the high 20's to low 30's C every day. While it does cool down a little at night, it is still hot enough that one can continue to wear the same lightweight sleeveless clothing that was worn during the day. This is a bit odd for me--I've been accustomed to SCA camping events in places where it was hot during the day, but come sunset I needed to add wool tunics & cloaks to keep warm. Here, the only reasons to wear clothes at all at night are the mosquitoes and any laws which might be on the books requiring clothing. The mosquitoes disappear completely for a day or two after a rain storm, but then return in small numbers again in subsequent evenings. So, spring might be nice here. I do know that it sometimes snows here in the winter, tough though that is to believe based upon the weather I've observed thus far.
