Dead sea day

While Israeli F-15's scream overhead patrolling the Israeli Jordanian border, we spent the day at the lowest place on earth....The dead sea. 400m below sea level we took a mud bath, a sulfer shower, I got a deep tissue massage and lounged around with a bunch of retires at the Dead Sea Spa. We both floated in the dead sea for 20 minutes, the water is so salty that as you lie in it, you are about 50% out of the water. It's almost like sitting inflatable beach recliner.

Tomorrow at dawn we hike to the top of Masada to look at the ruins of a Jewish stronghold that was overrun by the Romans in 73AD.
