The Dead Sea

The Dead Sea is awesome!

1. I was a floatation device. I had to tread water in reverse to keep my butt underwater.
2. Instead of sand, the beach is salt (and other minerals etc.). You know how objects near the ocean get salt-encrusted from sea spray? Here, things are covered in inches of salt like wintertime ice.
3. A slight lick of just the tip of my wet finger was enough to make me gag. I did not go all the way under.
4. Oh, and it's the lowest point on the surface of the earth. Purty cool.
