Santa Margherita on the way back to Rapallo from Portofino

I took so many photos, and also wanted to share some videos that I made on the trip…so here is part 2. Though the photos are cross between the whole week. A reminder if you did not read my first post it is HERE and this is about my JUNE 2022 Sketch Journaling Travel Teaching Trip to Italy with the Blue Walk, and its lovely proprietors, Jeannette and Suzy.

Arriving in Lake Como on a very windy day, ready to teach a class…

I’m back from Italy…a few words to recap

Farewell, Italy!

BUONGIORNO! I'll be the first to admit it, I’m generally a happy homebody - but my recent Sketch Journaling Travel Teaching Trip to Italy with the Blue Walk, and its lovely proprietors, Jeannette and Suzy, changed all of that for me. They took care of all the details, which made enjoying the trip so easy - the group was small enough (14 in all) for us to easily get to know one another and scheduling flexible enough for everyone to have flexible time apart or meet up for meals, extra creative time and exploring! Each day was filled with wondrous adventures, amazing sights, taste and experiences...so much for my students and I to capture in our sketchbooks.

APERTIVO IN RAPALLO …ITALY’S MUCH CLASSIER VERSION OF HAPPY HOUR ;)

This smattering of photos are from Milan, Rapallo, Portofino, 3 towns in Cinque Terre: Monterosso, Vernazza and Manarola - as well as: Varenna, Lenno, and Bellagio on Lake Como. When you travel you become aware of how easy it is to become stagnant in our lives and limit our perceptions of what is available to us. I’ve come back to the US so grateful for this experience, and with a more open-hearted vision of the possibilities for my life and future.
