Good advice Anthony. After all, volcanoes have a nasty habit of exploding, discharging liquid rock, ash, poisonous gasses, red hot clouds of embers, and generally doing things that kill people. I think we’re much better off watching volcanoes erupt on a national geographic film from the safety of the sofa. It baffles me that so many people live so close to active volcanoes, its a catastrophe just waiting to happen. I know that Naples constantly stages evacuations of the city as preparation for Vesuvius blowing her top, but they do think its going to be an eruption of epic proportions, but I guess there is no convincing some people

Amazing, isnt it? My family is in Reggio Calabria..and we often have tons of volcanic ash in the house just from the winds carrying it over. We also have the lava rocks on the shore that faces Sicily. .-= Margaret´s last blog ..Rick Steves: Amalfi Coast, Italy: A Cliff Top Drive =-.
