Etna
This is what the top of an active volcano looks like when it’s “not dangerous”.
(Because they say if she’s leaking steam, she’s… I’m having trouble finding a rhyme for this… she’s not going to spew lava all over Sicily.)
But that doesn’t mean that it’s not super terrifyingly windy and impossible to breathe up there. In fact, it’s so windy that it might blow your tightly fastened favorite ten-year-old hat right off your head and into one of its craters. And then try to blow you off a rock face and into the ocean.
(This is the crater right before it ate my hat.)

Ciao Darwin
This is my new favorite show.

Travel
I always like to be in my own bed, but I get it now, that vacation is wonderful. Saw this on our first day away, in Palermo.
Traveling is like dreaming: the difference is that not all, awakening, remember something, while everyone keeps warm memories of the goal from which he returned.
(Edgar Allan Poe)

I Want To Go To There (Again)
Five things and what we learned:
1. In a single day, we saw nine brides… Sicily in June is wedding central.
2. I drank at least one cappuccino per day… Italians believe you are crazy if you drink espresso with milk past 11:00, so I did not.
3. I got to nap twice… Naps are nice.
4. We had a sweet conversation with an old woman who sold us ceramics and told us about our signs… She was happy that Eric fit her “Cancers are engineers” theory.
5. I decided we need to move to Italy… The last time I decided to move somewhere, three months later we were in LA.
