Masada, En Gedi and The Dead Sea











This morning after singing Happy Birthday to Amy, we headed to Masada. We took the cable car up so we would have time to fit activites in. We learned about King Herod, and walked through his palace. 100 years later a group of Jews lived up there to escape the Romans. Some of brave in the group walked the snakepath down! Next we walked through En Gedi a place where natural springs and waterfalls....in the middle of the desert. It was to some of us another spirtual place! Last but not least we went for a swim in the Dead Sea. Guess what even though Paul insisted he wouldn't float, he did!! We all did!! Then Forest got mud for the group and instant spot treatments! What a day!!
For dinner we ate at an old bookstore. We meet Diana, who is the Director of Because I Care, a group that helps the rights of restaurant employees and also insures its excessible to patrons with disabilites. Lahla Tov!!
