2. Around the World From the Quiet of my Home A Multi Media Journey By: January Stephanopoulos New Orleans Vienna Madrid Leros

3. New Orleans, Louisiana In the French Quarters a street musician nostalgically plays "What A Wonderful World". As we stopped to listen to the sweetness of the melody the meaning of the words made me realize that this city is still recovering from a near-death experience

4. Vienna, Austria Even though the heavy rain spoiled our plans for the day, at that moment, there was nothing else that I would have rather done than sit there gazing down at the streets of Vienna listening to the falling rain on the windowsill.

5. Madrid, Spain Once the Flamenco Dancer started we understood why we were told to visit this village. Everyone was completely carried away by what was happening in the center of the circle. Chatter stopped and hushed silences were followed by eruptions of whooping and applause. It was an amazing feeling to be a part of such unreserved emotion.

6. Leros, Greece I quickly learned that Greeks believe in enjoying life! At the center of that life you find music and dance. We found ourselves in the middle of the Oxi Day celebration! Whether the music was fast, slow, or medium paced, Greeks could not help it, they got off their seats and joined the circle.
