Dead Sea and Ein Gedi

Last night we decided to take an overnight trip to the Dead Sea. Through a series of mishaps we found ourselves on the private shore of a Dead Sea Resort. (We were not guests of the hotel). We got there at about 2:00 a.m. and by 2:30 a.m. we were floating with drinks in hand.

A couple quick facts about the Dead Sea:
It is the lowest point of elevation on earth
The high mineral and salt content makes it impossible for plants or animals to live
The salt content makes objects extremely buoyant.

We floated till 4 a.m., then passed out on the resort chair recliners. We were abruptly awoken by the guests of the resort bathing at 5:30 a.m. Who the fuck gets up at 5:30 a.m. on vacation? Anyways, so with no chance of getting back to sleep we got some coffee and went to Ein Gedi. Ein Gedi is a beautiful hiking trail in the region of The Dead Sea. We saw some beautiful waterfalls and swam in some of the natural pools. We got home about 5:00 p.m. and cooked up a really good dinner for Shabbat. Probably the most productive day I've had since I learned to wipe my own ass. It was rad. Here are some pics....

Shalom and Hello to all. Keeping in touch with everyone is harder than I ever imagined, so I've decided to start a blog. I'll try and update it daily with my thoughts, pictures, and all sorts of good stuff. Stay tuned......
