It's been a rainy summer in Europe. I remember summers when I brought a jacket and sweater...and only wore them on the chilly, air-conditioned flight home. Not this year. We've made nine new TV shows this year (that's a record for us) and have been dogged by rain during several shoots. The shows end up fine, but it takes every waking minute to get things as bright and perky as possible. When I'm not filming, I hardly care about the weather. As you'll see in this video clip, while I was researching my Germany guidebook, the rain actually put me in an almost giddy mood. Join me on the Rhine River in my favorite little town of Bacharach one evening for a torrential rainstorm.
