OH MY GOSH. The last two days have been incredible. I will start with yesterday.
Yesterday we went to see Qumram, right in the desert. Parts of the Dead Sea Scrolls were found in caves in Qumram. It was a beautiful view, and we also watched a video about the place. After that, we headed to the Dead Sea for a swim! It wasn’t cold at all, and the water is so salty! It is made up of 35% salt, as opposed to the normal 3% salt in other oceans. So, your body actually floats to the top of the water on its own! I had so much fun floating around with everyone in the Dead Sea. Then we rubbed Dead Sea Mud all over our bodies and it was amazing. My skin was so soft and felt like silk after that (only for a few hours, and then it was dry again because we were in the desert!)
After that we had lunch in Qumram, and tried falafels with schnitzels in them. It was like a piece of breaded chicken in a falafel pita. I really liked it! I seized the opportunity to make my kill and get Shelly out of the game of Rock Assassination when she got up to get some sauce. After lunch we headed further into the desert, and drove to the Bedouin Camp, where we stayed the night. We went on a camel ride through the desert. I kept thinking Justin and Jeff’s camel (right behind mine) was going to take my arm off. They have really sharp teeth, and seem to be easily annoyed with people. It was so much fun, though. I love experiencing things for the first time. This night at the camp was incredibly fun... more to come in the next blog.
