You, Me & Sicily

Buongiorno! Mount Etna is on its fifth day of explosions and a new vent or mouth has opened up. In fact there are multiple vents letting out plums of smoke . Lava is flowing into two remote valleys safely away from residents. Flights have been cancelled or diverted to Palermo or Trapani. The management at Catania airport have been a disaster and something we will address on Sunday's show.

Have you seen our video on Palazzo Biscari in downtown Catania? The Palace was once home to one of the richest and most influential families in Italy. This week I was invited by one of the descendants for a private meeting and interview.
What would you like to know from him?

Today is Eszter's birthday!

Between shooting, editing, and making videos non-stop, planning tours, helping our guests, and keeping our home running smoothly, Eszter is the force behind all we do. Her energy is endless, her creativity never stops, and somehow she manages to keep a dozen moving parts heading in the same direction at once.

In many ways, she is a conductor—a maestra of sorts—bringing together people, places, ideas, schedules, cameras, tours, and dreams, then somehow turning them into something that works. If something exciting, beautiful, or memorable is happening around us, chances are Eszter has her fingerprints all over it.

Born in Hungary, she lived in Israel and Brazil before growing up in the United States. An Andover High graduate, a UMass undergraduate, and a Northeastern University advanced-degree dynamo, she went on to become an Emmy-nominated journalist before finding her way to Sicily, where together we have built a rich and fulfilling life.

Friends know her for her generosity, her sense of humor, her determination, and her remarkable ability to get things done. I know her as my partner in life, my sidekick, the loyal protector of these old bones of mine, and the hurricane behind so much of what we do. She is a cello player who somehow finds time for Pilates in her two minutes of free time, and to boot, she makes the best pizza and baccalà in Sicily.

Tonight we will celebrate with friends at our home in Aci Catena, sharing good food, good wine, laughter, stories, and gratitude for the remarkable woman who brings so much joy to all of us.

Happy Birthday, Eszter Bunster! Love you madly!
