I watched the BCC (Beth Chayim Chadashim) service from last night this morning. It included Yizkor (a service of remembrance traditionally done 3 times a year, one of which is the last day of Pesach), which was especially moving for me. David's name, in fact, was the very first one mentioned. I'm not ashamed to say that I cried like a baby, but it was good and cathartic.
In the late afternoon, I had my usual chat via Skype with David's sister and her husband in Ohio.
In the early evening, after the sun had disappeared but it was still light, I set out for a walk. I took quite a few pictures, mostly of bougainvillea flowers, at several different points along the way.
I ended my walk at the municipal celebration of Mimuna, a holiday at the end of Pesach, established by the Jews of North Africa, especially Morocco. It was a LOT of fun! I shook hands with the mayor, ate delicious sweets, danced, took photos, and shot a few short video clips. Here's today's pic of the day, showing the singer, the mayor, and a couple of lovely ladies on the stage:
I walked a total of 5.55 kilometers today.
