Sicily, Italy - Leaving Greece, Saling to Messina & Stromboli Volcano Eruption!
After spending three weeks in Greece, we sailed to the east side of Sicily. We're getting more comfortable with sailing, but that doesn't mean that sailing is always comfortable. We had some really rough seas on the last leg of our trip, and it was pretty miserable for everyone on board. Poor Ruby got it the worst. We spent a few days in Messina, Sicily. Messina is directly across from the toe of the boot in Italy. We were heading through the Strait of Messina on our way to Stromboli Island when we came across a huge pod of dolphins! The kids had the time of their lives swimming and sea-bobbing with the dolphins. It's such a blessing to share these experiences with my family. Stromboli has one of four active volcanos in Italy. We were told that if you go to there at night, you can actually see the lava blasting out! We were not disappointed. Stromboli feels like classic Italy. The setting and food were terrific, and we had an awesome night watching the volcano erupt. Thanks for watching this week. We're heading to the west side of Sicily next. I hope you'll join us!
