Break from the rain

The rain has finally stopped -- or maybe a little. There is a bit of a sky at the horizon, though there are storm clouds overhead. A group of teenagers and university kids have just taken to the sports field on campus. After 20 days of heavy downpours, the chance to get out and play a game of football (soccer) must be wonderful for these "giovanissimi". In the distance, beyond the football pitch, I can see the snowcapped mountains, and the breeze is very cold, but thankly dry. And the sight of nature's beauty and the young at play gives this old researcher a boost as well!
