As you close your eyes and listen to the sounds around you, it takes several minutes to truly appreciate the richness of the environment. As your mind begins to calm, it starts to wander and explore, distinguishing the various sounds it hears.

I just returned to the US from a great three-week vacation in Greece. My wife and I like to visit Greece mid-May to early June and avoid the intense heat. We returned to the US June 4, just when Greece started experiencing a heatwave. This was the time that the first of a number of tourists was lost and some are still missing. As it happens, I also like to hike and I have some experience.
