Today we woke up at the early time of 6:30 in the kibbutz we stayed at the night before. After eating a breakfast of bread, cheese, and eggs we embarked on the ride to Masada. The trip took a few hours and put us smack in the middle of the desert. Before starting our journey up the mountain of Masada we drank as much water as humanly possible to account for the 105 degree heat. We then hiked up an old battery ramp to the top of Masada where our fantastic tour leader Ariel and our amazing Rabbi described the scenes and history that took place there.
Luckily after lunch we were able to take a cable car down the mountain instead of hiking it down giving us an unreal view. Sadly we had to say goodbye to Rabbi today who has taught us so much this trip as well as making us more passionate about our Jewish heritage like never before. Next we got on the bus and headed to the Dead Sea which we have all been looking forward to. A bunch of us bought Dead Sea mud and proceeded to rub it all over each other helping us achieve maximum softness of our skin.
Our next stop was the bedouin tents where we got to ride camels, eat delicious schwarma and hummus, and hear about the Bedouin hospitality. We are all looking forward to the next days of our adventure!
