She starts out on the island of Evia, where she engages in an ancient language of whistling with the local people, and on Kos she visits the birthplace of Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine.

Greek Islands

She also recalls milking horses with Mongolian nomads, and hearing the music of the Mongolian throat singers.
