So today, all the SIT kids took a field trip to the Dead Sea. We talked for about an hour and a half about the Badia, ate lunch, and then had about 4 and a half hours to just hang out. We were at a resort-esque place with a pool and hookah and right next to it was the beach and the Dead Sea. After lunch, everyone went down to the beach. We could see the West Bank from where we were right across the sea. The Dead Sea is the lowest point in the world attainable by transportation so that's pretty cool. It's a remarkable feeling just floating in the water, at a certain depth, even if you're tall enough, it is impossible to touch the sea floor.
You just lay back and you float on the surface of the water, truly unbelievable. If any of you have a chance to go to the Dead Sea, do it. Except here are a few precautions, don't shave before hand, and don't get any of the water close to or in your eyes. Your eyes won't stop burning until you wash them out, I can personally vouch for that. Other than those little hiccups, it was a relaxing time and the sea was breath-taking.
