I got up reasonably early this morning and got in a full, lovely early-morning walk.
After breakfast, I planned a morning trip around town to take care of a number of tasks.
First, I checked out the grocery stores and bakeries near the building where I expect to be moving in about a month and was very impressed; they are well-stocked.
Next, I put an ad for my car at the main building of the university.
Then, I went to the pet store to order mice for my snake, and I told them about my car being for sale. They suggested that I advertise it in Erev-Erev, the local newspaper, and so I went over and did that. My ad will appear for 3 weeks in Erev-Erev, Ma Nishma (an advertising rag that is distributed free to every residence in Eilat on Friday mornings), and on their online site, all for only 140 shekels.
After that, I proceeded to the garage where I get my car serviced. I not only left an ad on their bulletin board (with their permission) but also talked to the head mechanic, who was happy to tell anyone interested about my car.
Finally, I went to my regular Shufersal and did the weekly grocery shopping.
For lunch, I had stuffed mushrooms at Café Café at Ice Park. I also claimed my free piece of cheesecake (one dessert available any one time during November, the month of my birthday). After eating, I walked around both levels of the mall several times before returning home again.
In the evening, I walked over to the green strip and sat there for a while, enjoying the lovely evening and the beautiful moon in the sky, before continuing my walk. Just after the top of the green strip I ran into my friend, Liz, who was out for a walk with her dog and her sister, who is visiting from England. We chatted for a while, and then I continued walking to the end of Harim Road, where I sat and read for a bit before walking back home.
Altogether, I walked more than 13 kilometers (more than 8 miles) today, the most in one day since my phone has been keeping records.
