I woke up very early this morning, but I didn't get up right away even though I did NOT feel tired. When I did get up, I drank a cup of coffee and went on my computer a while before going out. The reason for all this was that I was planning to hike in Nakhal Yo'ash, and I needed to wait until it was a bit lighter out (no streetlights up there!). And so, I parked my car along highway 12 and hiked from about 6:00 until 8:00 a.m., up the Nakhal as far as one can go. It was as beautiful as I had remembered it, and the weather was absolutely perfect. Most of the time, I was hiking in the shade because the narrow canyon runs roughly north-south and there was also virtually no wind, and I was perfectly comfortable wearing short pants, a t-shirt, and shoes and socks. What a lovely, quiet, stunning place that is!
After breakfast, I watched the BCC (Beth Chayim Chadashim) services from last night, which included trans remembrance and was led by the assistant rabbi together with a trans person. Quite moving.
My friends, Bassia & David, had invited me for lunch today, and they also surprised me by celebrating my birthday. It was very nice, with delicious food and delightful company.
In the early evening, I had another enjoyable talk with my sister-in-law, Joyce, in Ohio.
