Lazy Sunday

Today was our break-out sessions for our 4 hrs of Convention. There are 5 EF staff members here, who introduced themselves and then we had to do the same. It was supposed to be short, sweet & to the point....yeah right. Some went on & on...zzzzz. We heard about some of the new things that EF has been up to lately and then broke into groups and rotated amongst the EF'ers.
And, here's today's highlight.....

So, we're in our last focus group, sitting out on the terrace with Etna in the background, getting a little sun, when all of a sudden we hear rumble rumble.......then again rumble rumble.....and again....rumble rumble...about 10 more times. While we're speculating on what it was, the front desk guy comes out and explains to us that it was Etna we just heard.....YEP, heard ETNA rumbling today....was the coolest, craziest, weirdest thing I've ever heard...wonder what it would have been like had it happened yesterday when we were up there?!?!!? Holy frijoles! It was cool!!

After lunch, we spent a lazy day just wandering the streets of Taormina. Took the gondola/funicular down to the beach, had a drink & some ice cream and then met some friends & the EF staff for din-din. Nicely, they picked up the check....yeah!!

Tonight we're off for a tour of Castelmora, a castle up on the hill we'll get to see at sunset - maybe some lava action will be seen as well. Hope it cools off (but doubtful it will) - was quite warm today!!

Ciao Ciao **steph :)

p.s. Te amo Jack!!
