Last night I slept well and woke up feeling pretty good. It's a good thing, too, because today we had to travel once again to Tel Aviv for David's dental appointment.
We left the house at 8:00 a.m., filled the tank with gas, got sodas, and headed up the Arava. I decided to take the Arava all the way to the Dead Sea and then go up highway 12 to Be'er Sheva. It's about the same time and distance as the other route (up highway 40). It is, however, the truck route, so one does sometimes get stuck for a while behind a truck. Still, we made good time and got to the Asuta Hospital in Tel Aviv (where the Maccabi dental clinic is) at about 12:15.
After eating lunch at the Arcaffé there (minestrone soup for David and a Mediterranean salad for me, both with nice little loaves of bread with seeds on them), we went upstairs for David's appointment. The dentist finished quickly, and so we were back on the road time at about 2:00 p.m. On the way back, we took highway 40, which is more curvy but also more beautiful. In particular, Makhtesh Ramon looked stunning in the waning daylight as we drove down into it from Mitzpe Ramon.
When we arrived back in Eilat, we headed directly to Ice Park for frozen yogurt. Then, we stopped at the Yellow gas station by the airport to fill up and returned home.
