I got up fairly early this morning, but I only went for a short walk, stopping to buy challah on the way back. Unfortunately, they didn't have the whole-wheat kind, so I had to buy the other. I took a few nice pictures, including today's pic of the day, the sunrise from just in front of my gate:

I was scheduled to teach 3 units of Berlitz lessons today, but the second student was unable to enter the classroom successfully due to internet connection problems on his end.

I got all the weekly chores done between my lessons this morning.

I had a large salad, beans and a few weenies (there were 7 left in the package), and some cookies for lunch.

I just relaxed and even napped a little in my chair this afternoon. It's been a busy week!

As the daylight began to fade, I lit candles, drank some sweet red wine, and ate a little challah to welcome Shabbat.

Then I headed out for a long walk (further than the big loop). I walked down to the newest area of Shakhamon, where there are many beautiful new houses and many more still under construction. There's a path that cuts across the area, going up and down over the ridges. I walked up 96 steps, down 125 steps, and up 46 more steps, and all of this was in a lower area, so I had to walk up the road just to get back to Sheshet HaYamim. It was very enjoyable, though.

I walked a total of 8.7 kilometers today.
