Thank you, Rob. There is something soothing about the sight of rowers. With all the motor traffic on the Grand Canal it's hard to imagine a time when all of it would have been done with oars, as described so well by William Dean Howells. So I appreciate even the hint of such a time.
Lovely, and with one click, Venice has soothed my (dis)stressed heart.
