And last thing, before we begin, I just want to say thank you so much for being here,

and I really hope you enjoy this episode. I was traveling through Europe from mid-August all the way through January.

While I was in Greece, I met this really cute, sweet couple named Maggie and David.

They were from the UK and lived along the border of England and Scotland,

and they invited me to come and stay with them from October to mid-November.

Their youngest child was attending university, and they felt like they wanted another

youngen around their cottage house, since they found they didn't enjoy the empty nest as much

as they thought they would. So, I agreed

that when I was finished exploring Thessaloniki, I would come and stay with them and maybe help around the

house and see some of the countryside. I don't know why Maggie called it a cottage house. It was much

larger than a cottage. Old, definitely. Very fancy, but old. It was very long and narrow.

I suppose she called it a cottage because it was out in the country. I don't know if there was any

houses for kilometers in any direction. Maggie was just about the sweetest person I had ever met. Still is, and her and I

talk all the time to this day. I don't really talk to David, but that's because David is just

not much of a talker, whereas Maggie was bubbly and warm and loved to tell the stories and jokes.

David was more stoic and stern.
