I got up early this morning and took a nice walk around the big loop, somewhat extended. I took several pictures and a video, including today's pic of the day, the Red Sea and Aqaba in the very early light, as seen from the Sheshet HaYamim bridge over Nakhal Shakhamon:

I walked to the WIZO meeting this morning, where, in addition to our usual socializing, Sharona led us in a singalong with lyrics on the screen. I actually knew a couple of the songs, and we all had a great time. Afterwards, I walked back home by a somewhat more circuitous route.

I had a salad, weenies wrapped in tortillas, and 3 slices of bread for lunch.

I was scheduled to teach only one unit of Berlitz today, but no one actually showed up: 2:45-3:30. The reason for all of this is that today was All Saints' Day, which is a big holiday in most of Europe.

I managed to call and find out what I needed to do to get my renewed driver's license. It turns out that I needed to go to an automated machine located at the SuperPharm in Mercaz Big to pay via credit card, so I walked down there in the evening and did it. The machine issued me a temporary license, and then I need to go back to the optician's to get my picture taken. I'll try to get that done tomorrow morning. Before leaving the area, I visited 2 health food stores there and bought myself some nice goodies. I walked up to the bus stop by the university, from which I caught the number 2 bus the rest of the way home.

I walked a total of 13.9 kilometers today.
