Ever since our arrival in Sicily, we have all been entranced by the looming volcano in our back yard. On Sunday we ventured up to do some closer exploration. As we wound our way up a small road, the clouds seemed to grow closer, and we noticed a significant drop in the temperature. Camille wasn't feeling well so Adam and I took turns hiking around with Noah. We are all anxious to plan another trip to Mount Etna, but we may wait a little while. I got an e-mail last night reporting an increase in earthquakes over the weekend which indicates there might be an eruption soon. Glad I didn't know that while we were hiking around (but I do look a little worried in the photo Noah took of me, don't I?). Stay tuned. We'll let you know if we see any lava!
Wow! Yes it's a good thing you didn't know about the EQs! My son is looking at this saying, "I want to go to that volcano!" Amazing backdrop! We went to Kilauea it's weird how you can just feel soemthing so raw standing on a volcano.
Oh the lava makes for fantastic evening entertainment. I do hope there is an eruption soon! If not, go out to the Aeolian Islands where you can always catch a show. I so wish I could go with you. Keep up the great photos, worried or otherwise.
wow, so so cool! my son is fascinated with volcanoes right now...he would have loved that!
wierdly- i am up in the middle of the night (worrying about paris) and found your blog- kismet. glad you enjoyed the craters.
Oh MY what a glorious, adventurous place. I want a volcano in my back yard.
OH how my sons would love that :)
