Across all generations of the family we are hosting in Sicily, Etna was a hit! We spent much of today learning about the volcano which included exploration of a lava cave from the 1792 eruption, pictured here. (We learned, among other things, that there are 197 known lava caves in the Etna territory.)
Our always fabulous guides, Fabrizio and Marco, concluded the educational, environmentally-powered day with a picnic lunch featuring local specialties. I love when our clients are happy!
