The Dead Sea - a second perspective - by Matthew






Right now we are on the bus on our way back to Tel Aviv from our trip to the South and I was just woken up from a nap to write for the blog. Even though I’m a bit sleepy, I don’t mind! We arrived at the Dead Sea after a night with the Beduins. We were told the rules and limitation when going in the Dead Sea, such as never putting our face in the water, taking off our silver jewelry so it wouldn’t turn black from the salt, and not drinking the very salty water from the sea. It was so amazing to be able to lay on our back and float. You actually had to use more energy to try to stand then you did to lay down. We then put mud all over our bodies that Karen and Bruce bought. We played with the mud for a while and then rinsed off, leaving our skin soft and smooth. After we changed, some of us ate the the lowest Burger King in the entire world. Now are on the way back to Tel Aviv and I’m going to continue sleeping ...what a great day so far!!!
