It is a great day to drive around a volcano!  Our plan is to drive around the north and south side’s of Mt. Etna, Europe’s largest volcano. The lava flows look amazing.

Do you see the lava?

In the afternoon we drove  to Taormina.  The town is amazingly beautiful! There are breathtaking views of the Mediterranean at every turn.

In addition to the picture book views of the sea and beautiful architecture, there is  color everywhere we look.

Accompanying everything you see is the lovely fragrant wisteria pouring over all the gates and windowsills.

This is a Mediterranean  Shangri La, and we love it.
