Becky Bloom. Last week, we took a day trip to the Dead Sea. After an ear-popping drive down to however many meters below sea level (400 meters, actually--I checked wikipedia), we paid admission and plopped down on some chairs. We floated in some painfully salty water, covered ourselves in mud with magical healing powers (or something), and showered said mud away in sulfur showers (omg gross smells like egg-poop). The day started with a bacon and eggs breakfast, ended with a hummus and kinafeh dinner. Food, beach, sun, scenery, awesome. All in all, an awesome day.
