Today

This is an exciting part of the regatta - the races. This is the turning point - il paleto - in front of the railway station. These are caorline, rowed by six people. Djittydjitty asked about the rowing position yesterday. This is rowing alla veneta - standing up, facing forward. It seems easier this way, if you think about it. They don't need a cox, for instance. I was staying at Santa Croce 555, which gives this rather fantastic view from an upstairs window.

I will post some more tomorrow.
