Emails from Mount Etna

An insightful, humorous, diary of what it was like to live 5 months on the slopes of one of the world's major active volcanoes: 11000 foot high Mount Etna. Meet some of the wonderful people that populate this glorious island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. Learn how to eat, communicate, and drive in the land of Homer's Cyclops. Experience some of the elaborate religious festivals, holidays, and concerts that occur regularly throughout the summer. Get up close and personal with an erupting volcano as Mount Etna pours lava down the sides of its eastern slopes. Most of all, laugh at the predicaments that regularly arise hen you rent a villa in a small Sicilian mountain community where NO ONE speaks a word of English!
