Hello from Sicily’s highest point, Mount Etna.

It’s easy — if you can afford the $80 ticket — to ride a cable car, connect to a mountain bus, and be nearly at the top of Europe’s biggest volcano. I’m here with my TV crew on the last full day of our Sicily shoot and, thanks to an early start, we’ve had a “lava” time to film on this crater. This is an incredible place to make TV — and when my cameraman Peter invites me to see what he’s just shot, I know it’s going to be exceptional.
