The Godfather Of Sicily: Taormina

From Enna we saw Mount Etna, where we were going to drove next. As we were getting closer to it, the ground seemed to become more lifeless. We saw roofs of houses, sticking out of the ashes. There wasn't the feeling of danger, but we were excited, climbing higher and higher. When we were at 2km above sea level, we got to a tourist area. Going further was possible only by funicular. We saw a smoking top of Etna far away and walked upon the hardened lava, gathering small pieces of it as the

presents for our parents and friends. In the souvenirs stores we found many figurines of Mussolini. Hmmm, wasn't he banned? When you witnesses that warning smoke, burned grounds, you can't avoid a fact how mighty and unpredictable our Mother Earth is. Question yourself if we're free or slaves to her...

After visiting our first volcano in life, we drove to Taormina. There we saw amphitheater. The funny thing about it was that in Trapani we had been watching a concert on TV and it was on that scene in Taormina.
