I got up early this morning and walked out to meet Hannah. Then we walked back to my place together and chatted for some time.
After she left, I ate breakfast and continued working much of the day on compiling my list of favorite patches (virtual instruments) in Strobe 2 (the synthesizer we are using for my new class).
I ate a salad and 2 veggie burger, cheese, and tomato sandwiches for a late lunch.
Just after 4:30, I set out on another walk. My goal this time was the top of White Mountain (where I've been 2 or 3 times before). I arrived at the top just in time to catch the last sunlight of the day on Eilat. Then, as I walked north along the ridge, I caught shots of the light as it gradually receded across the valley and up the Jordanian mountains on the other side. The shot I took as I first came over the ridge of White Mountain is today's pic of the day:
I managed to get down off the mountain and onto a nice smooth dirt road on the way back to town just before it became too dark to see a trail clearly. The road was easy to follow, though. I did use my flashlight (in my iPhone) near the end, however, to see the short final trail down to Harim Road. I got back home at about 7:20.
I walked a total of 12.7 kilometers today, some of it hiking up steep trails, and also including walking the ridge of White Mountain from almost one end to the other.
