We caught our breaths this morning as the bland desert streets blossomed into gorgeous mountains painting the horizon. We had arrived at Masada, an ancient city that was an area of conflict between the Romans and the Jewish rebels thousands of years in the past. With the city beautifully crafted into the cliffs and the Dead Sea kissing the shore in the distance, it was easy to see why the land was worth fighting for. It was a wonderful moment when the 40 of us gathered together and shouted out , our voices echoing for miles across the mountain tops. After lunch, we took a trip to the Dead Sea, where covered in mud head to toe, we floated on our backs watching the day turn to night. All in all, I think it's safe to say that it was a sweet n' salty day.
