Shabbat, 2 May 2015

I slept well but got up quite late. Nevertheless, I went out for a good walk -- I just had to be sure to wear my sunglasses since the sun came up shortly after I started.

In the late morning, I decided to go for another walk, this one in Holland Park, a KKL (Keren Kayemet L'Israel) park in a nakhal on the north side of town. I'm afraid I may have gotten a little sunburn, since I can see the pattern of the tank top I was wearing on my shoulders. It's doesn't hurt, though, not even in the hot shower, so I guess it's not too bad.

For lunch, I went to the Gulf Restaurant, in the hotels area. I ordered a Greek salad, which was very nice, but the best part, I think, was all the delicious סלטים "salatim" (little salads) that they brought me as soon as I set down, before I had even ordered. These included: pickle slices, potato salad, pickled beets, carrot and fennel salad, carrot salad, red cabbage coleslaw, and סלט טורקי Turkish salad (my favorite -- they got the "heat" just right: a little but not too much). Afterwards, I went for a short walk in the area, crossing the draw bridge after waiting while it was open for some sailboats to pass into the harbor.

I also did some mandala coloring today, first by hand, and then digitally, using Graphic Converter.

Finally, I did a little more work on my orchestral variations on HaTikva.
