The start of the day was a bit slow, but I got done what I needed to get done. I walked down to the industrial area to buy a few items, the last one being cat litter at the Zebra pet store.
I tried to order a taxi using the Gett app, but there were none available, so I decided to see if I could make it up to the bus stop and take a bus home. But the sack is VERY heavy (15 kg = 33 lbs), and before I had even gotten a short block up, I was already beginning to worry that the "handle" would soon break. I hadn't brought my cart because of the plan to take a taxi. Just as I was considering what to do, a woman pulled up (in a red Fiat Bravo) and asked if I'd like a ride. I agreed, and she actually cheerfully took me all the way home! As we chatted in Hebrew, I told her that I had formerly lived in Tsfat, and she said that her uncle had been mayor of Tsfat for some time. She thought maybe I was a Spanish-speaker from my accent, which I found flattering, since I hate it when people can immediately tell that I'm an Anglo. Definitely, an "only in Israel" experience, and it really made my day!
I had vegan "breasts" and corn-on-the-cob for lunch at home today. Then, I finished week 5 of my machine learning class.
In the evening, I did some grocery shopping at the 2nd-nearest market. As I was heading up there, I stopped on the median of the road and shot this pic of the day (cropped, but otherwise unedited):
A little later I went out for a lovely evening walk.
I walked a total of 8.07 kilometers today.
