Monday, 17 June 2013

I got up a little late this morning, but I still walked over to the gym and back and thereby got some good exercise.

I taught only 6 units of Berlitz lessons today: 10:00-11:30, 5:00-6:30, and 7:00-8:30.

We ate lunch in the old mall (Mul HaYam) today. We had planned to eat at the falafel place there, but it was closed. The place next to it also had falafel, so we had that. They didn't put it in the pita for us, though. They just served it on a plate with a LOT of French fries. Of course, we also had a selection of סלטים salatim ("salads" literally, but not the lettuce-base things usually known by that name in the U.S.). It was okay, but it was a bit too much, and the falafel was really nothing special. At least it was something different from what we've generally been eating lately.

We got some new clothes today. David got 4 pairs of short pants (that can also be used as swimsuits) and 2 tank tops. I got just 2 new tank tops.

After lunch, we took a drive up the Arava as far as Yahel. There's a new facility there for tourists. It includes 2 restaurants (one not yet open), an Israeli fast food place, a convenience store, an ice cream shop (which also serves frozen yogurt), and a nice pond with several pretty bridges and a fountain. We had frozen yogurt, which was delicious.

Today, we had two birthdays in my family. My sister-in-law (my half-brother's widow) turned 83, and my only nephew turned 17.
