Fun in the Dead Sea. Three sisters hanging out in Israel and having fun. All of us on Masada. Yesterday was eventful as we left the Sea of Galilee and went South thru occupied territory and out into the desert and barren south. We could look east into Jordan. We saw Qumran, the springs of David, Masada and swam in the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is large but it is shrinking. At its south tip it has actually separated in two. We arrived in Jerusalem last night and saw the Jerusalem Center all lite up on the hill side and we could see the dome of the Rock but otherwise it was too dark to see many details. It was fascinating to watch the people on the streets. Sabboth had just ended and people were out with their families. Today we tour Old Jerusalem so we will get to see the Wailing Wall and other things up close. Still hard to believe I am actually here doing all this especially with family all around. We are having fun together.

I wish we could swim too! I love that first picture.
Cool! Is the water cold? It looks a lot cleaner than the G.Salt Lake...
Rich-- you look stylin' in those clothes....Grrr-ow!
Wow....great pictures!!!
Uhhhhh. One more thing-- Rich are you SWIMMING????? Or is it technically not swimming because you are floating so high? Or is this just a bath? Have you been released????Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
Is that young woman closer than arms length???? (I just have to tease you now that you are "off duty").
Our guides said, "Don't swim in the Dead Sea, just lay back and float."
So, therefore, Rich, since he cannot swim, could not swim, so, ipso facto, he did not swim.
The young lady behind him is coming home to her own mission call waiting for her.
"Buhngauhsih"
that is Cantonese for apostate missionary. Or really a word we missionaries made up (from the two words) indicating such.
So does that girl still want to go on her mission after meeting rich?
Rich....I would have "floated" too.
