I got up early this morning and took a fairly long walk, snapping a lot of pictures. One of them is today's pic of the day, showing a prehistoric site from the 6th or 5th millennium BCE in the foreground with high-rise apartments of Eilat in background and, way back, even a glimpse of mountains in Saudi Arabia:

I tried an experiment this morning: I showered without using any hot water at all. However, it wasn't exactly a cold shower. The "cold" water is actually lukewarm because of the hot weather, and the shower was actually quite nice. I think I'll continue to do it.

I took the number 5 bus to WIZO this morning and got off right by WIZO House. I was a little early, so I went to the thrift shop that's on the lower level. It turned out that they were selling brand new, quality flip flops (originally marked at 250 shekels) for only 10 shekels a pair. I bought 3 of them.

The English speakers' meeting was also very enjoyable. Instead of a "program", several of us simply shared stories of our fathers or grandfathers in honor of Father's Day.

Afterwards, I walked up to the nearby Shufersal. I had hoped to find their store-brand mouthwash, but it was still out of stock. I bought a couple of other items that I needed and took bus number 6 back home.

For lunch, I had coleslaw and beans and weenies.

I taught 5 units of Berlitz lessons today (although both of the 2-units lessons were for only an hour instead of an hour and a half since the students had to leave early): 2:45-3:30, 4:30-6:00, and 6:00-7:30.

I walked a total of 4.93 kilometers today.
