I got up very early this morning and was out of the house just after 5:30. I walked down to Sheshet-HaYamim Street which I followed all way across the nakhal to the road that goes up towards where the gym is. Then I walked through Canada Park (a nice green park area whose infrastructure was donated by various communities throughout Canada) up to the gym. I worked out a little, and then walked home, stopping to stretch near the big kikar.
After breakfast, we drove down to the Dolphin Reef. Because of David's disability card and the fact that we are now official residents of Eilat, we only had to pay 17 shekels to get in (actually, that was just for me -- David's entrance was totally free!). We found a nice little table in the shade and enjoyed being at the beach, including a couple of drinks. I even went into the sea a couple of times and swam around a bit, my first time (believe it or not!) swimming in the Red Sea. It was really nice! There were no waves any bigger than in a swimming pool, and the temperature was about the same, too. The difference was that I floated better (due to the salt water) and that I actually saw some little fish swimming around. David didn't go into the water, so he didn't get to enjoy this outing as much as I did, but I think he had a fairly good time anyway.
After that, we drove over to the Ice Park & Mall and ate lunch at Greg. David had papparadelle (wide noodles) in a mushroom cream sauce, and I had their "toast salad". We both enjoyed large ice-cafés.
This afternoon, we enjoyed a nice conversation with David's sister in Ohio and her granddaughter.
I posted another of my mom's letters to her parents today. This one was dated 27 October 1951. You can read it by clicking here.
This evening, we went for our usual short walk and stopped at our usual benches to rest and enjoy the lovely evening.
