Dead Sea

Next we drove to the Dead Sea. Things sure are different from the green hills of Galilee! All around is desert, and the water is 33% salt! Nothing can live there, except tourists. It's hard to believe, but we're more than 1000 feet below sea level - the lowest land on earth.
Here's dad floating in the Dead Sea. It's so easy to float that he's reading a New Yorker magazine that Libby gave him. Check out that salt accumulation on the wooden piling! Behind dad is what appears to be an "East River floater".
Mom and Dad wallowed around in the Dead Sea mud, which is supposed to be good for your skin. I don't know about that, but it looks like fun!
Can I do a mud treatment?
