I got up fairly early this morning but didn't go out for a walk except to take the trash and recycling out and to buy challah.

I taught my regular 5 units of Berlitz lessons this morning: 9:00-10:30 and 10:30-12:45.

Then my friend, Jeb, from Be'er Ora and his roommate, Shauli, came and picked me up, and we all went to the beach for the afternoon. They had intended to go to Dekel Beach, but it seemed too crowded, so we drove on down the coast to Migdalor ("Lighthouse") Beach, instead. We spent a very pleasant afternoon there, talking and eating a little lunch. The weather was perfect! I sat almost the entire time in the shade, wearing only a tank top, short pants, and flip-flops, and there was quite a bit of wind, too. Then they brought me back home.

Here's a picture I took from the beach, looking up the gulf and across to Aqaba:

I lit candles to welcome Shabbat and spent the evening just relaxing.

I walked a little less than a kilometers (980 meters) today.
