9 November 2012

This morning I got up a little late and slightly tired, but I still was able to enjoy a nice walk to the big kikar, good stretches, and a great walk back.

I had 2 Berlitz classes today (4 units): 9:00-10:30 and 10:30-12:00.

After I finished teaching, I walked down to the bakery and bought challot. Then David and I went to lunch at Il Pentolino. Next, we drove over and did our weekly grocery shopping early since we plan to be away all day Sunday.

Only a little while after we got back and I got everything out of the car and up into the apartment (3 trips), it began to rain! We had a good, serious thunderstorm! The younger cats were curious about this strange phenomenon. Although they were born outside, it was in the late spring and we brought them into the house before they ever experienced rain. Then, in Tsfat, the windows were closed when it rained because it was too cold. Here, however, the windows were all open. On the other hand, Katom, our American cat, has been terrified of thunder ever since 2 katyusha missile hit near our house in Tsfat during the Second Lebanon War (summer of 2006). He'll probably NEVER get over that!

This evening, we made Shabbat at home and then spent much of the rest of the evening researching computer options for blind people. We found a system that looks interesting and might be worth getting, but we need to try to get more independent information about it. Everything I've found so far was merely quoting what its manufacturer says about it.
