Stay warm! Brother

Lot of good points. If you are not from Texas and need a state with no state tax's people should consider South Dakota. Fly or drive there stay in a hotel for one night and you can become a South Dakota citizen and have your new South Dakota driver license the same day. Also set up mail forwarding with Americas mailbox.

It is more American store than an Albanian Store.

Brrrr!

We got around 6 in here in Siloam Springs Arkansas a couple of nights ago

Nice camera placement 👌😊 p.s. you live in a country with so many nice backeries and you buy packaged bread with preservatives?! 😅

I was thing about you when you were in ft. Worth-Saginaw. I think they got about 4-5 in. of snow. I live South of Dallas. We just got a lot of rain and a little sleet.

Finally snow in Pogradec but much more than in Dallas 🙂Stay warm friend!

Patrick, you are a smart man...get out, get the groceries, and get home. You thanked us twice for going shopping with you, but it is you that we should be thanking for thinking about us and strapping on the camera. I recognized the sports stadium from your prior video and figured out you were taking us to the grocery store you showed us before. When you said "as soon as I make this turn (to the front of the store) I'll be going right into the wind", I could see the wind blowing through the tree on the curb. Thank you for the videos, I really enjoy them. Take care.

I'm with you on the snow, much rather have snow than rain! We're still waiting for a little snow way up in far Northern California. We usually get an inch or two a year, tho we did have a year when it snowed more than a foot causing some roofs to cave in!! Glad you are enjoying it, tho I hope you didn't get into too much trouble with April for not bringing the veggies. ;-) BTW, eggs are almost impossible to find here now and are stupid expensive, tho our Costco has eggs for $6 for a dozen and a half when they get them in. Needless to say they are rationing everyone since some greedy folk are stockpiling eggs. It's almost as bad as the toilet paper shortages we had!

Pat, Shopping in the winter. Stay warm and enjoy the snow.

Stay snug and warm. Thank you for sharing a winter wonderland with us!

Thanks for sharing your snow walk!

We got a similar amount of snow over the weekend here in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Any fresh vegetable stand would be selling frozen veggies!😂 Thanks for sharing your experience.

Look at that cheese selection 😅

How much for eggs

Good morning Patrick! Im glad you're back in Pogradec safe and sound! And I didnt realize it snowed there.

Ooooooooooooo!!!!!! I love this so much!!!!!

Do you know it snows in this city every year? I intend to visit Eastern Europe to experience snow (first time) I'm from Brazil

What a beautiful life; “far from the madding crowd” of big cities.

So it's snow that actually slows down the drivers 😉....we just got back from Albania a few days ago...and we drove😳😳🫣

Very pretty

Looks lovely! 💜 and should make you feel ecstatic- eggs are $10 a dozen here in Washington state

No Snow here in Florida 😎 I wonder if they ever have snow in mid April? I arrive April 10th. Patrick, I think you mentioned a bar/cafe in Tirana where expats hung out? I haven't had much luck finding out about eBike or scooter(gas) rentals on the internet. So I thought I would ask in a place where expats hung out. Or maybe someone watching your videos might know. Thanks for your very helpful videos. Give April my best....pete

Also would like to know the prices , thanks.

😮😮🥳🥳🥶🥶are you ready for a lot of tea 😂❤

Here in Mesquite we had snow flurries that didn't amount to anything. School was cancelled for 2 days. LOL

Hello from Tyler Texas! Albania is on the short list. How's the steak out there? Any good BBQ?

Nice walk Brother

It's nice that a lot of the signs are in English, just like in Albania...

All the Ohrid pearls you are looking at are well known and very popular for their beauty and low cost. They are NOT natural pearls, but man made from shells. I sold a few strands of these pearls as they were popular in the US as they cost about a tenth of the price of the high quality Mikimoto pearls I used to sell when I worked in the jewelry industry. Looks like a place I would fall in love with for sure!!

Absolutely beautiful, even with the drizzle! I've been in Durres now since the first of January and have only ventured out for a pizza to eat, I think I would love to try the fish here and man oh man a steak sounds good! I mostly cook and sometimes I feel like I am missing out on all the local cuisine. Yesterday I walked about an hour and a half to check out the Amphitheater, it was incredible! It drizzled here today also so I chose to stay in and do my laundry, luckily this unit has a drier! A luxury not to be taken for granted! lol, I hope to be in Pogradec in the middle of February for that coffee...As always, thank you for sharing with us all...

Yes its cool to travel to different countries in less then 1 hour ,and in 1 hour you gone be at the Greece border too, and i suggest you to visit Castoria too, the small town in Greece. Pogradec, its a strategic point in the map, for people who love to travel around and see different countries. In 1 hour you can go in Ohrid, a city with a low cost airport, Skopje the capital of FYROM its 210 km away , at the other direction you can visit Kastoria thats only 100 km away, and Thessaloniki thats only 280 km away , and Tirana 130 km , Durres 160 km away.

Uh oh. Do I hear another move in your future?

The thought of too many Americans moving to Albania and making it as ugly as urban America is pretty appalling. You've made your bed in the US, lie in it please.

cute little town//summer time must be beautiful their !! Dining Cheap their..?

Thanks for reminding me that I was there once upon a time, a long time ago (in 1980) as a young man. Although it seems surreal to me because it was so long ago and now so far away to me, this beautiful area with the Lake so big that it feels like one is on the shore of the sea but not the Lake! You should visit it in the summer when it comes to life as a tourist destination. I wish I could visit again but I'm now too far away in Vancouver, Canada. Enjoy your time in quiet off season Ohrid.🍹

Patrick, what you said in the past is dead on: this place is headed for development. You can see it. It's already charming, well-serviced, and urban. About the only thing missing is new-ness. Everything is older...but, not dilapidated in the way you see in Portugal, Spain, or Italy. In those places, things are falling apart and the population decline makes rebuilding less practical. You can see that they've taken fairly good care of this place. You can tell that eventually, the investors are going to start pumping capital into the economy. You got in at the right time. I wouldn't be surprised if property prices double in the 5-7 years. Great video, as usual!

I'm from the U.S. here in Tirana visiting and wondering what places I would like to visit. What are the name of the two cities you mentioned you considered moving!? is it Pogradec? The other one is hard to hear. The caption does not translate correctly... Thanks in advance 😊

Nice! Thank you!!

Pretty town. Looks very clean and love the water and Mountain View’s.

Gorgeous!!!

Patrick, you can use your Albanian skills in North Macedonia as well, 30% Albanians and majority Albanians on the western part of Macedonia adjacent to Albania and Kosova.

If you stay in Struga, Macedonia, go to the Freya Hotel, it's a newly renovated old building that is not too expensive typically less than $60 Euros in offseason and very friendly staff, the old fellow at the desk speaks pretty good english as well. The Hotel is in the middle of the old town and walking distance to everything.

Hi Patrick, Old town Ohrid is where my wife's family is from, and my family is from Struga which is 25 minutes northwest of Ohrid. Struga has a beautiful river that outflows from Lake Ohrid and splits Struga in two with Restaurants/bars on both sides of the river, during summers it's lively as can be for a tiny town. Glad you enjoyed Ohrid like I did during the summer of 2023. Also, Ohrid has a massive castle on the hill that might be the biggest in all of Macedonia.

You might want to start working again if 3-days in Ohrid is your idea of the glory of being retired😅. A week or 2 is probably more like it!

Glad to see that the adventure is full speed ahead, Patrick. Another great video.

Great video again Patrick! Love the stone streets and the whole architecture of the city! Again, as I mentioned in a previous video, I'm surprised at the jewelry stores with their goods in the windows, certainly not something you'd see in any US cities! Love the "Booze Cruise" idea too. ( LOL! ) It also seems that they would be American friendly with all the signs in English. Looks like another great place to possibly retire too! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing more of your venture in North Macedonia! ❤

That´s the way to go, Patrick and April! It makes me happy to see both of you enjoying the new surroundings, customs, sceneries etc. After a long work life, the hustle and bustle of the U:S. you deserve to enjoy your time without worries due to high costs.

I’m watching you as we speak in Macedonia, looks awesome!!!
