Joseph and Kerry came to visit us in Sicily. We went to Taormina one day to visit the Greek and Roman Ruins. Joseph tells me we (Jim and I) killed the tourist in him during our family life of traveling and visiting sites together (poor thing).
Then we visited Etna, but this time we went up further on the volcano: first by car, then via Funivia (tram) and last by some kind of big bus. It is an amazing site to see. This is one of the top craters of Etna. There is a sulfur smell in the air as the volcano vents constantly. It was a bit cold (two coats for me) and windy, but a perfect day.
Kerry, Diane and Joseph on Mount Etna. Joseph got sunburned. . . .
This is a crater that opened up in 2002. It buried the bus booth in ash and lava. It is still steaming. That is a good thing, as it means the pressure is being released, so it won't explode!
