Life below sea level
Yesterday we traveled to the Dead Sea. The mixture of the mud and salt water leaves your skin feeling absolutely incredible. The girls enjoyed exfoliating with salt crystals directly from the bottom of the sea, and we all had a blast floating over 400 meters below sea level.
This morning we left the youth 25hostel at 4:00 AM to start the journey to the top of Masada for the sunrise. Feeling tired and groggy in the dark, we began the challenging trek to the top. While some people ascended rather quickly, the 2 kilometer, 700 step rocky hike took others a bit longer. Regardless, we all made it to the top for the sunrise - an absolutely breathtaking view indeed.
At the top of Masada, the group learned about the significance of Masada to the Jewish people.
