Sicily is a volcanic island and I’m on a quest to learn about volcanoes. The first day we arrived and surveyed our apartment, we took a long look out our living room window. We loved the view, as you can see from the pictures we took. However, I didn’t even look for Mt. Etna, assuming we couldn’t see it.
Later in the day, as we walked around the village to explore, we came upon a lookout in the parking lot (that is a story in itself) with a magnificent view of Mt. Etna. The sun was setting on my first close-up view of the mountain.
You can clearly see the steam coming out from the top.
Early next morning at first light, I opened the shutters to see what I could see. Wow! Right outside our window.
The sky was clear and the mountain beautiful, although the air was cold…Mt. Etna in her glory.
Tomorrow (Tuesday) we are going in an off-road vehicle to see the Grand Mountain (which one is the grand one I’m not yet sure) and Mt. Etna. Our host for our house is arranging the tour for us and his daughter will serve as our tour guide. I hope we don’t freeze! We seem to be cold most nights and early mornings just in the village, which is only halfway up the mountain and removed from all that snow.
