The Dead Sea

We did the obligatory swim in the Dead Sea, and it was all it is said to be. While feathers can be adversely affected by all the minerals, we enjoyed floating effortlessly, feet, head and arms sticking out of the briny brew.





To salt things up even more, a Caribbean Christian lady (pictured) got rather excited talking to an African American couple in our group and started dancing and clapping and speaking in tongues with great gusto and volume, much to the interest of the ethnically and religiously diverse folks relaxing close by.



Then it was back to Jerusalem, an almost non-stop ascent from the lowest point on earth (1200 feet below sea level) to around 2700 feet above.
