It is a great feeling. I don't care (or have to care) what day or what time it is. Total freedom, it is amazing. So how have I been spending my days? Well, nothing too extraordinary, just wandering around Tel Aviv and lazing by the pool-- it has been excellent.
This morning I went down to the promenade along the beach and read for a couple hours. Finally finished my book, The Executioner's Song. Pretty heavy reading for the beach, but it was very good. Daddy asked if it was "fun." Not exactly the work I would use, but good,definitely good. Now I have to decide what to read next! And at some point I should get down to studying for my wine exam, but I'll let that sit for a little longer.
Did some more research today on where to go to find wineries. I think Daddy and I are going to get a taxi to schlep us around on Sunday, should be fun. Tonight we are going to dinner at one of him colleague's houses in Jaffa, the old city; The guy's family is out of town right now, so it is us keeping him company as much as it is him inviting us to dinner. Should be nice to see what a real house in Tel Aviv is like. Speaking of which, saw an ad on the street for a sea-view studio apartment. Price was pretty great too....although I think it would probably be a little to much of a commute. Ah well!
The people at the hotel have started to really recognize me which is nice. On of the gentlemen who are on staff during breakfast even attempted, through his thick african accent, to compliment me on my crossword puzzle abilities. The cleaning ladies are still very cold, which I'm told is just because they are russian, and has nothing to do with the mess i leave in the room. Not sure I believe it. All in all, I like knowing the people around me....only takes a few days and its nice to fit in like a regular.
Now i'm off to find a nice gift for our dinner host tonight...and to sit by the pool some more :)
