We walked about 6 kilometers today in Tel Aviv. In Israel not Sunday but Saturday is the end of the week and the free day. We noticed among other things that there are lots of small parks with play equipment both for adults and children. By comparison, in Ecuador every neighborhood and every community has a volley field, here they have this kind of play parks. We met many friends in the morning today, the meeting center is used not only by speakers of Hebrew, but also Russian, English, Spanish, Tagalog (Philippines), Arabic, and sign language. And in the evening we were invited by friends whom I, Ron, had last seen in 1984. It was truly a delightful evening with wonderful stories and memories as well as delicious food.
