We caught our breaths this morning as the bland desert streets manifested into magnificent mountains painting the horizons .
We had arrived at Masada, an ancient fortress once the center of conflict between the Romans and Jewish Rebels thousands of years ago. With the fortress carved beautifully into the cliffs and the Dead Sea kissing the shore in the distance , it's easy to see what was worth fighting for.
After lunch, we made our way to the Dead Sea where covered head to toe in mud, we floated on our backs watching the day turn into night. We then arrived at a Bedouin village where we had dinner, and heard a presentation about the Bedouin lifestyle. we hiked into the desert and took a moment to lie on our backs and look at the stars , in complete silence. at this particular moment as I write this we are gathered around a bonfire roasting marshmellows. All in all, we had a pretty sweet n' salty day together, and I think we can all agree that as our last night comes to a close. we'll never forget MAYANOT 379.
