Connected in Como

In April, a small group of rowers from France and Canada joined Ruth to test out the rowing venues for Italian & Swiss Lakes Rowing (and everything else on the tour).  We had many amazing adventures, but one of best was rowing with members of Lario Rowing Club on Lake Como.  Grazie mille!

Here are some photos and some words from our wonderful friends:

“Thanks to you as well, my friends.  This sport we all love often creates some magic moments like the one we had the chance to share. We rowed on a historical boat from the 1950s (the only one like that on Lake Como), enjoying the wonderful landscape of Lake Como and Canottieri Lario. It will be a lovely memory for me, too.”

“On behalf of my President Enzo and each of us participants at the memorable rowing trip with you, thank you for your fine words for us and for the photos, we remember with pleasure the enjyoed row with you, we recovered in our heart the happy meeting with you and the wonderful Sunday. I hope it may be we can repeat toghether the day When ?? Now many thanks  Paolo and also by Gianni, Riccardo, Francesco, Marco. Ciao.  Canottieri Lario wait for you.”
