I got up, walked over to the gym, worked out just a little, and walked back home this morning. I petted Fluffy and Mielo, but I didn't see Torty.
We ate lunch at Kakao at the Ice Park today. I had their breakfast spread, and David had their spinach quiche.
After that, we drove up the Arava as far "101 km", which was closed. I made a left turn into their parking area and was just verifying that they really were closed when a police car that had been parked nearby drove over next to me. The officer asked me if I new what I had done and, of course, requested to see my driver's license. I really didn't know, but here's what it was: there is a solid white line in the middle of the road there, and one must NEVER cross such a line. Now I did know that you can't PASS a car by crossing the solid line, but I did NOT know that you can't make a left turn over it, either. Well, now I know. They took down my info, including my license number, car plates, and telephone number, but I don't know if I get a violation and have to pay a fine or not. The really strange thing is that there's really no easy way to get to this place if one is driving north. Either you have to go way up further and make a U-turn, and then, when you leave, go south some distance and make another U-turn, or you have to park on the other side and walk across highway 90, where traffic can be moving quite fast in both directions (although it's only a 2-lane road there, of course). Basically, it means that we'll probably rarely if ever stop there again. And the experience DEFINITELY ruined my whole day! I probably should be happy that I was able to converse with the officers in Hebrew, but I still felt just generally bummed by the experience.
