Adrano.  A picture of myself taken by a dear friend.  It’s just too bad that it was raining and it was sunset, because this is a unique town square.  Tropical yet Mediterranean, urban yet clean.  A bus and train come here from Catania, which is 36 km away.
Etna’s main crater.  For a 3300m mountain, it’s quite easy to climb…no gear required.  Of course, it erupted while I was there, so I had to go with a guide (who didn’t speak English).  It’s also cold and very windy (100km/h), but European cellulars still get reception here…contrary to other countries…..
