More Italian Adventures

Everyone needs to go to Stromboli! Because everyone needs to see a volcano erupting lava at least once in a lifetime. But on Stromboli, on a typical excursion, you will see about twenty eruptions with real live lava. Almost enough to be scary.

So, I guess you could say that our Sicilian travels ended with a bang. We also made a new friend, Gaetano, who gave us a ride (one at a time, of course) on his Vespa to the campground in Milazzo. We learned lots of Italian while talking to him for a couple of hours over a bottle of wine. (He knew just a couple of English words...)

Berdie and Bronwen (my mom and sister) met us in Sorrento and from there we went to Capri for a night, because Craig and I had found out the day before that you really aren't supposed to drive a camper onto the Amalfi Coast. We really tried, driving past several people who made valiant attempts to turn us back, but finally had to take it seriously when we heard it from the Caribinieri.

We are now in Rome, and have been practicing "power tourism" for four days. I still will probably want to come back!
