I ate an early light breakfast, just to hold me over until the big WIZO breakfast later.
At around 8:00 a.m. I started off walking down to Maccabi for my weekly blood tests. Of course I took pictures along the way, some of flowers and quite a few of the sun peaking in and out of the clouds.
After finishing there, I walked downtown but was too early for the breakfast, so I hung around the North Beach area a bit. They were building a large temporary stage there, obviously for some type of show, but I have no idea what. I had seen a plane heading south for its big turnaround over the Red Sea, so I was waiting for its return, and I took today's video of the day of it coming in for a landing:
Then I walked on over to the Soleil Boutique Hotel for the monthly WIZO breakfast (really more of a brunch) at 9:45. I really enjoyed it all: the food, the company, the conversation, and the champagne. Today was the birthday of one woman who was there, so we also celebrated that.
Next, I walked all the way over to Breishit, a health food store in the industrial area. I stopped several times along the way to rest. I also walked around 2 or 3 stores along the way that I had never been in before, just to see what they had. At one point, when I was nearly there, I even lay down on a bench for a while. I was happy to find, though, when I got there that they had what I wanted to buy: plenty of carob-peanut spread, which I find incredibly delicious.
From there, I headed back to Maccabi, weaving through old neighborhoods and narrow alleys. The only reason I went to Maccabi was to use the bathroom and relax a bit more. Then I walked down the street to the pet store where I bought a mouse for Goldfinger. I felt too tired by that time to walk back home, so I walked a little further down the street and took the first bus home.
After all that walking, I just spent the afternoon and evening relaxing at home.
I walked a total of 8.5 kilometers today.
