I got up, got out, and got a good walk and a good work-out this morning.
The big thing for today was a trip to the Small Makhtesh, located in the northeastern Negev. It's about a 2.5-hour drive from here. From the parking lot, I walked about 20-25 minutes to get to the viewpoint, but the view was really great from there. This is the smallest of three makhteshses (craters that are NOT of volcanic or meteoric origin) in the Negev. This one is by far the hardest to get to, since paved roads go right THROUGH the other two! But, in a way, this one is the easiest to comprehend since it's small enough to really see it in its entirety from one spot. Of course, I took a lot of pictures, and I'll try to post some of them in my old blog in the next few days.
We got a fairly late start, so we didn't get back home until nearly 5:30 this evening. David took a short nap because he was exhausted from the trip (even though he did NOT hike with me but instead stayed in the car listening to a Wikipedia article). After his nap, we talked for a while with his sister and her granddaughter in Ohio.
