2014 Camogli

"Mark in Camogli!"

In May of 2014, when I went to Venice for a week, I also took some time to journey along the Italian Riviera.  I stayed in Camogli - the most wonderful place in the world!  From there, I took day trips to San Fruttosso, Portofino, and Sestri Levante, and also walked the hill path from Manarola to Vernazza.  That was an amazing experience!  I even helped a couple of women along the way who were certain they were not going to make it to the Vernazza.  Below, I have put together some photographs of my stay on this beautiful coast, along with some thoughts about my experience.  I hope you enjoy it.

This was an amazing stay on this beautiful coast, and I can’t tell you how much finding this idyll meant to me.  It was a perfect place to relax and rejuvenate.  I am so grateful for all the opportunities, like this one, which I have been given - to see Europe - and bring these images  home to share with all of you.  My hope, as always, is that you enjoy them!
