Arabian Night!
After hearing and talking with these two men we then adjourned to the cafeteria where we had a very special dinner prepared for us. They had all TONS of food all that were traditional food that is found here in Israel.
Shabbat Shalom!
DEAD SEA!!! Yippee!
The Dead Sea was incredible. I did not know really what to expect but I was shocked by the amount of Salt that was there. We were told to only go in the Dead Sea for 20 minutes because there was so much salt that it would soak up all the water in our body and we would get extremely dehydrated without even knowing. As soon as I stepped in, it felt so weird. It still felt like water but it also had a slimy feel to it. As soon as I lied down in the water my feet literally went up
. As soon as I got into the water and lied down on my back, my feet went directly in the air. It did not take any control on my part whatsoever. We swam out farther where there was a drop off and I tried to put my feet down in the water and I literally could not put my feet down. It was so crazy! After I had been in the water for while I got out and then we all started putting mud all over our body! It sounds weird but it was so much fun to put mud all over our bodies.
We took a lot of pictures and then got back in the water to wash it off. Oh my goodness, my skin was SO soft! We washed ourselves off and then went shopping for a bit and then left to go back to the center. It was seriously such a fun day! I am so glad that we went!
