Waking up at 4 am is never easy but hiking up the Masada made it all worth it. Before dawn, Mayonat 338 packed up the buses and drove our way over to the ancient heights of the MAsada. We made our way up the steep steps and rock paths and finally made it to the top! The group gathered as we learned about the history of this amazing Israeli landmark and watched the sun rise. Later that day we ate lunch and drove to the salty waters of the Dead Sea. Everyone walked down to shore and floated about in the water. It was fun to cover ourselves in the Dead Sea mud and hang out by the water. This was a great end to the trip and I know I'll have to come back to this country and experience even more! Thank you to Mayanot and Birthright Israel for this incredible gift!
