Who doesn't float in the Dead Sea?
Well, actually everyone who decides to enter the water - will float. It truly is an amazing phenomenon. So that was cool. Want to know what wasn't cool? The water itself.
Poison, I tell you.
It is as thick as oil, literally. I'm serious. It's viscous. You can see the salt, minerals and what looks like oil move through the water. And it stings like the dickens! Any sore, scratch, wound, nook or cranny you have will HURT! Poor Roo nearly ripped her skin off after dunking in here. The dumb thing is - you HAVE to! You can't not. Well, unless you're Chach who hates standard ocean salt water because that alone makes his skin kill. So he wasn't even about to attempt this.
He's no dummy.
Gid stuck his toe in as the shortest venture, and Si stayed in it forever. Not sure why, but I think he loved the weird floating experience. You cannot hardly even put your legs beneath you.
People come from all over the world for the 'health benefits'. (ouch benefits?) Here we are giving our selves the mud rub down afterward. This is a huge spa type thing. You can buy the mud in stores. How was it? Stinky. Thats how. And you were supposed to leave it on for 15 minutes. I lasted about 2. But we had a great time gettin muddy!
The Dead Sea was really cool. I don't think I would ever do it again, because it only takes once to say you've done something - right? But after reading about the Dead Sea in the Bible my whole life - I was happy to see it and really know - it's dead. Nothing could ever possibly live in there.
