I got up fairly early this morning and had to push myself to go out for a walk, but at least I did go for a short one. It was quite warm out. We're beginning to have a "sharav" here throughout the whole country, and it will be even stronger tomorrow and Monday. A sharav is combination of weather that happens mostly in the spring and, occasionally, in the autumn. It's abnormally hot and hazy, and it feels quite oppressive even though the humidity is low. I've never really experienced anything quite like it in the U.S., but it happens quite regularly here in Israel. Often, though, it actually misses Eilat. I took today's pic of the day this morning as the sun was just coming up over the Jordanian mountains, and it can give you some feel for what a sharav is like:
The rest of the day, I just stayed inside. I watched the BCC Friday night service from last night and was particularly moved by the Israeli music. They even sang Mi Kamokha to the tune of HaTikvah, the Israeli national anthem!
I spent most of the rest of the day finishing week 2 of my regression class. I had a little trouble with the programming at one point, but other than that it wasn't too difficult.
I walked a total of 1.98 kilometers today.
