After hiking around Masada, we went for a dip in the Dead Sead. It was another event that I had been looking forward to doing again and that Dad was really excited to experience for the first time. He thought the sensation was very familiar because it felt exactly like floating around on a pool mat. Only no mat! We both noticed that our skin felt great later. There was a large group of Muslim women there while we were and we were interested to see how they enjoyed the Dead Sea. I figured they wouldn't go in the water because of the swimming suit issue. It turned out they just went in with clothes on. Another interesting thing is that the beach at this point of entry was made entirely of salt crystals. It would have been very painful to go in without shoes. The Dead Sea is, unfortunately, drying up, and anywhere water evaporates from is left covered in salt.
