Crete is huge. To see it will require driving. Personally I’d stay on the other side of the island for a few nights, but that’s just me I like to move around accommodations to experience different things. Even if you stay put accomodation wise, go spend time in other towns, each will have a unique character and vibe.

Have you thought about a ferry to another island for either a day trip or overmight(s)? Might make sense might not, Crete is far.

Make sure all heirs know what the program is before time of death. I have seen one too many wealthy families ripped apart because of surprises in the will/trust.

Saw them in God’s Country Thursday, they played great. Old classics mostly. Enjoyed them more than CCR

Now imagine that soil heaving with a flexible pavement.

We did what you’re describing on an interior wall. The wall was 2 stories and had an attic above it.

We used a rather large insert fireplace.

We had essentially three sides of a tall rectangle built two stories high and had custom made stone veneers made for the rectangle and the hearth.

We had a gas line ran and a log lighter installed.

For us, worth every penny.

Don’t believe the florist when he tells you that the roses are free.

Let’s clarify, I’m singing along to the Phish Hampton version, not the strange Ween version.

The Persians did not mess around.

[The king] decreed that Mithridates should be put to death in boats; which execution is after the following manner: Taking two boats framed exactly to fit and answer each other, they lie down in one of them the malefactor that suffers, upon his back; then, covering it with the other, and so setting them together that the head, hands, and feet of him are left outside, and the rest of his body lies shut up within, they offer him food, and if he refuse to eat it, they force him to do it by pricking his eyes; then, after he has eaten, they drench him with a mixture of milk and honey, pouring it not only into his mouth, but all over his face. They then keep his face continually turned towards the sun; and it becomes completely covered up and hidden by the multitude of flies that settle on it. And as within the boats he does what those that eat and drink must needs do, creeping things and vermin spring out of the corruption and rottenness of the excrement, and these entering into the bowels of him, his body is consumed. When the man is manifestly dead, the uppermost boat being taken off, they find his flesh devoured, and swarms of such noisome creatures preying upon and, as it were, growing to his inwards. In this way Mithridates, after suffering for seventeen days, at last expired.

— Plutarch, Life of Artaxerxes[2]
