Today was probably the busiest days so far, and one of my favorites.  I feel bad saying that because today have very little to do with biblical stuff, but it was really fun. 

We did some girly thing at the AHAVA store. Which was some cosmetics or spa something…..i was busy making fun of it, so I didn’t get a hold of it till later. Anyway, We went on to Masada. Which if you don’t know the story, it’s pretty cool, but I think Andy told it.  What I found cool is how they held out for 3 years with rain water and stored food.  Amazing.  But it was hotter than a mother—–out there.  I’m surprised no one over heated. 

Anyway, we went to Qumran. Another sect that handled the Romans in their own way.  But they were a bunch of fruits living in commune where the women lived separate and the men were crazy.  It becomes more and more apparent where sexism came from the more I’m here.

My favorite part was swimming in the dead sea.  I covered myself with dead sea mud.  Gave myself a good case of mud butt. It felt great.  Your skin gets all slimmy and it looks a lot like something I left in the toilet, but my skin is soft now and it was a lot of fun just floating around with no effort.  I’m really glad I have Andy here or I probably wouldn’t have gotten to go.  Only 5 people from our group went in.  It’s a shame too cause it was a life time opportunity.  Just lift your fit and sit in the water and you can read the paper your so sturdy.

We also went to Jericho.  It was different than the other places we went to, but everyone in the group was tired and crabby so we didn’t get much time there.  Poor.  Very poor.  You’d step off the bus and kids would bag for money.  Shacks everywhere. Rubble and garbage as far as you could see.  It’s part of Palestine so it is having a rough go at it and we had to go through another military checkpoint with giant guns. 

This day is busy.  Very busy.  Very fun and eye opening. 

I know your all looking forward to a poop update, so I won’t let you down.  I love Hummus, but Hummus doesn’t love me. I’m pretty sure Andy is about to kill me because of the constant gas attacks.  For some reason, I just can’t stay away from the chick pea.  Mmmmm…..chick pea…..
