Day 3 in Sicily

God's power is so event when you consider the forces of a volcano! Today Hunter and I toured the old lava fields and volcanic caves of Mt.Etna, a volcano whose last eruption was in April of this year. It was a fascinating "lesson" and good exercise as we hiked over old lava flows. The jeep ride up to the volcano was in itself an adventure!

In the afternoon we drove south through the hills of southern Sicily on miles and miles of " hairpin" turn roads. The countryside was beautiful, mostly farming and rural agriculteral villages. By 6 p.m. we had arrived at our destination-Modica, a fascinating old town with magnificent churches, mouth watering Sicilian cuisine, and world renown chocolate! Our bed & breakfast is in an 18th century stone building!

Our room is amazing-should be an interesting visit!
