Besides coolish rows and perhaps head races, autumn, for many, brings harvests, and our thoughts turn to food—fresh food. As at home, after a good, long row on one of our trips, nothing is better than a meal of fresh foods, especially when dishes are often distinctive to an area...

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...
