Who has two thumbs and will probably spend the extended mid-August weekend doing volcano monitoring because #MtEtna decided to wake up?
#thursday #dinner Bucatini Frutti Di Mare with capers, anchovies, fresh parsley & basil. Served with mixed greens, cucumber, mixed tomatoes, Kalamata olives & shredded Reggiano with a balsamic vinaigrette.
#wine pairing is a #singlevineyard #oldvines #NerelloMascalese from the north side of #mtetna offering very Pinot-like elegant raspberry, grilled plum, dried orange rind, smoke, leather & minerally charcoal notes.

Hiking on a #cinderCone I could hear the mountain "breathe" - distinct low booms every minute or so, as if hungry. The landscape there is eerie black with #birch #tree forests in stark contrast. I stayed late in the evening for a light show of lava and hot boulders.

Mt. Etna began "breathing" while I was on a hike nearby. There were very low-toned booms every few minutes.

These are epic times to be alive. All the clichรฉs, myths, and legends come to life in new forms before our eyes. We are the regenerated ancient race. We will be immortalized in ash and dust, naked eternal, blasted by solar gamma rays and cosmic radiation. The deep bowels of the earth shall regurgitate our names.
