I got to bed late last night and got up late this morning, but I still took a walk about half as long as the big loop, buying challah at the bakery on my way back. I took several nice pics, including today's pic of the day, a view of the beautiful Eilat Mountains in the early-morning light:

I got all the weekly chores done before my class: taking out the trash and recyclables, doing the dishes, dusting, and sweeping.

I taught only 2 units of Berlitz lessons today: 11:30-1:00.

I had a salad and weenies wrapped in tortillas for lunch.

After lunch, I helped a young American-Israeli who is looking for an apartment. He didn't feel confident enough in his Hebrew to use Yad2, so I had him come over and we looked together. He wrote down some telephone numbers and already has appointments to see a couple of places on Sunday. More importantly, I think he'll be able to use the website himself if he needs to.

As the day came to a close, I lit candles, drank a little sweet red wine, and ate some challah to welcome the Shabbat Bride.

I walked a total of 3.58 kilometers today.

As the Jewish New Year fast approaches, I share with you the refrain of BaShana HaBa'a:

עוד תראה עוד תראה כמה טוב יהיה בשנה בשנה הבאה

You will yet see, you will yet see, how good it will be in the year, in the coming year.
