Our 2013 Holiday
In Sicily
We stayed at a agriturismo,which in Italy is a farmhouse converted into a bed and breakfast on the slopes of Mount Etna, and explored the area by the Ionian Sea from Mount Etna to Siracusa (Syracuse). |

Our first exploration in Sicily was to visit Mount Etna after a delicious pizza in Trecastagni the evening before, where we stayed on the slopes of Mount Etna for three nights. |
|
Mount Etna is visible from some distance and so is the steam generated from the active volcano, which has documented history of eruptions from 1500 BC to 2002. 
|
|
We made our way to Rifugio Sapienza, which is a cluster of small shops selling tourist items, a few restaurants, and a cable car that takes you part-way up the slopes with a bus in conjunction to take you to the top.

Aimee is standing in front of the bus that took a very winding path to the top of Mount Etna from the end of the cable car ride.
