This was really an unforgettable day. We had a day that started at a pleasant river that we waded in and were able to take very cool pictures from there. We continued on to Etna where we had an amazing time with the trek up. This was followed by wine tasting and tasting of various olive oils and delicious spreads. We met some very nice people from different places and this also made the trip more enjoyable. Our guide, Guiseppe Barbagallo was wonderful He clearly takes his job very seriously and has a passion for what he does. He was incredibly knowlegeable about the volcano and also about a variety of other topics regarding Sicilian dialect and culture. He had a very large English vocabulary that he clearly worked on and was a very warm gentleman.
