Right after my morning routine, I set out for Maccabi, where I got the form for my trip to Tel Aviv. Then I called Arkia Airlines and arranged my flights up and back. I fly out at 8:00 a.m., and the return flight will leave Sde Dov airport (in Tel Aviv) at 4:10 p.m. My appointment is at 11:20 a.m.
The WIZO meeting was really special today. Myrna Goldstein, one of our members, read us some of her poetry, and it was very good, with an interesting and engaging variety of moods, styles, and tones.
I had beans and weenies, plus a salad with added red and yellow bell peppers, for lunch at home today.
I taught only 1 unit of Berlitz lessons today: 2:45-3:30. It was a group I like, Spaniards who work for an international software company.
In the evening, I went out for another walk. At one point, I sat on a bench by Sheshet HaYamim Avenue and recorded a short video (2 minutes and 22 seconds) about Yom HaZikaron, which started less than an hour later with the first siren (there's another one tomorrow morning). This is without any doubt the saddest day of the entire year here in Israel because it's when we remember the fighters fallen in our many wars and the innocent victims who died in terror attacks. Nearly every family in the country has lost at least one, so it is extremely personal for so many people. Today's pic of the day is one I took earlier in the walk, looking down Argaman to the Gulf and Aqaba beyond. If you look carefully, you can see the giant "Flag of the Arab Revolt" near the center of the picture. It's located in Aqaba right by the sea:
I walked a total of 7.64 kilometers today.
