  1. Just look at the two of them sitting there, smiling. It's a dog's life.

    1. Yes, they seemed extremely content, and I can understand (or at least imagine) why. I was envious.

    2. I'm envious! What sort of boat is this?

    3. Sorry for the late reply, but as Ella B noted below, it is a sandolo, and it's being rowed "alla valesana" (ie, with 2 oars), rather than "alla veneta" (1 oar, like a gondolier).

  2. What a peaceful image, and how elegantly rowed. I think it's a sandola, isn't it?

  3. Is rowing allowed right now on the lagoon and the Grand Canal? Is there no more police intervention and tickets to pay in that case?

    1. Rowing had just started to be allowed again at the time this image was taken, after having been prohibited along with most other outdoor activity for some weeks.
