The Dead Sea

Last night we had an opportunity to visit the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is the lowest elevation on Earth's surface on dry land. It also tastes HORRIBLE. We were warned that getting any of the water in your eye would effectively render you blind for half an hour (a hyperbole, but it felt that way for certain).

However, as promised, we were able to float with incredible ease. There was a very rocky shore and many of us worried that the water would be too shallow to carry us. However, to our amazement, we were floating effortlessly, with almost half our bodies out of the water. We were so bouyant, in fact, that many of us had trouble staying in the water, feet and arms flying every which way.

After having our fun, we climbed out of the water to take a shower. Because the water is so salty, we had to take a quick bath in mud before rinsing off and watching the sun set by the infinity pool.
