Day 8: Etna

March 23, 2016 By mcolbert

IMG_1903For the last post, I share a photo of the epitome of Sicilian picturesque: Mount Etna. I’ve always found irritating people who talk about skiing in the morning and then going to the beach in the afternoon, but we more or less did that on our last day on the island (although we saw snow and a beach but didn’t do either activity).

Etna is important because discussing its untamed, indomitable character often serves as a stand-in for the crazy, passionate Sicilians.
