This morning it felt even hotter than yesterday morning. I walked to the outdoor gym and worked out a little anyway. Just before I got there, there was a group of soldiers, many of them wearing nothing but their skivvies. When I got to the gym, there were 2 soldiers there (fully dressed in uniform) who were guarding all the other soldiers' things. Shortly, they all came over and gradually began to put their uniforms back on. After that, they all went back across the street, got into their military vehicles, and headed up highway 12, presumably returning to their base up that way. Yes, it was a hot morning! ;-)
We went to the library in the late morning to take back the 2 books David had borrowed a month ago. He then picked out 2 more to borrow. He also found another one by the same author (Clive Cusler) that was for sale (for 5 shekels). I found something even cooler for sale: a whole 16-volume geographic encyclopedia (in Hebrew, of course) for only 30 shekels!
We ate lunch again at Café Café in the mall. I had a nice Mediterranean salad. It was very good, although it was a little on the salty side because of all the feta cheese and the olives that were in it.
I had only 1 student today, for 2 units (from 2:00 to 3:30).
This evening, we took a drive up to Kibbutz Yotvata (a little of half an hour's drive north of here, in the Arava. David bought a hat that says "Eilat" on it (3 shekels MORE than the similar ones that say "Israel" on them -- that's how much more panache Eilat has, I guess!), and I bought some nice but inexpensive flip-flops (I'm trying to remember to use that term instead of "thongs", which was what we called them when I was a kid but which is now used for something QUITE different!). We also had some delicious ice cream. Mine was fig-flavored. Yum!
A while after we came home from our drive, we took a short walk around the neighborhood. There was a slight breeze some of the time, which was barely enough to keep us from being too hot. I wore only my short pants and my flip-flops (my old ones).
