Sunday, 25 August 2013

I got up a little late this morning but still walked to the highway 12 kikar and back.

We ate breakfast a little early and got right on our way to Tel Aviv. David had an appointment with the dentist there at 1:30. We arrived at the office about 15 minutes before his appointment time. When the dentist finished, we learned that David would need another appointment to finish the work. But the good news was that they were able to schedule for TODAY at 4:00 p.m. So, we ate lunch and spent a little time in the Steimatzky bookstore that is there, and then we went back up for the second appointment, which was with a different dentist. I think this is all that will need to be done.

Our trip up and back was pretty uneventful. On the way up, there was a HUGE traffic stoppage in the other direction (southbound) not too far north of Be'er Sheva. It was due to 2 trucks that had collided with each other. By the time we came back that way, much later of course, it had been cleared.

I used Waze to help me find the most efficient ways in and out of Tel Aviv. It's pretty good. We call the (female) English-speaking voice "Shoshana" and have a lot of fun listening to her say things like: "In 1 km, turn right." and "In 400 m, at the roundabout, continue straight." I plug my phone into the car stereo's aux input, so her voice comes from the car speakers, loud and clear!
