I taught only 3 units of Berlitz lesson today, and, in fact, the first student had to leave the 40-minute lesson after only 15 minutes to go to an all-day meeting. It was really okay for him, though, since the whole meeting was going to be in English (even better practice than lessons!): 9:15-10:00 and 11:30-1:00.
I walked up to the 2nd nearest market between my lessons to buy a few more items.
I had shakshuka, made with 3 eggs and a cut-up half of a yellow bell pepper (plus half a can of shakshuka mix, of course) for lunch. It was delicious!
In the late afternoon, I went for a nice walk. It was quite warm out, but it was late enough in the day that I was able to stay almost entirely in the shade. I took a number of pictures, including today's pic of the day, a pretty little grassy are that I had never seen before:
In the evening, I watched the yearly ceremony on Har Herzl in Jerusalem that marks the transition from Yom HaZikaron (the solemn and sad Day of Remembrance) to Yom HaAtzma'ut (our joyful Day of Independence). An important part of this ceremony is the lighting of 12 torches by people who are being honored. Among them this year were an Eastern Orthodox priest, a female Druze doctor, and a deaf holocaust survivor who spoke in sign language.
I walked a total of 4.05 kilometers today.
