Travel Update!

From Be’er Sheva we traveled east to visit the Yam Hamelach (The Dead Sea). On the way we saw the destroyed city of Sedom and explored the amazing Yam Hamelach. There are those who say, that the salt and minerals surrounding the Yam Hamelach can be traced to the wife of Lot and the destruction of the wicked cities of Sedom.

The Yam Hamelach today is filled with tourists from all over the world who come to enjoy the minerals and vitamins that are found in this amazing sea. Although it’s a “dead sea” and much too salty for anything to live in this sea, it’s lots of fun to float in it without any effort, in fact you cannot sink. Another world famous attraction are the Dead Sea minerals, many people cover their bodies with the mud of the sea as a special skin treatment.

As part of the “virtual tour”, we slathered our hands with mud, we saw some hilarious you tubes of people trying to dive into the Yam Hamelach, unsuccessfully I might point out and as a “mazkeret” (souvenir), we created “delicious” salt sundaes.

Enjoy the pictures!
