An Oasis in the Desert

The Dead Sea, Israel
An Oasis in the Desert
We have taken a day to see the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea has approximately 36% salt in it versus other oceans have about 3%. So when one is in the Dead Sea, you float!.
The mud here is just like the very expensive mud packs you buy back home, but free. So we all played in the mud for a while, floated in the Dead Sea (Annie and GG, you would love it!) and then went to the natural hot springs (again 36% salt water).
It was a delightful day of play.
What a beautiful world God has made for us...
praise be to Him for His wonderful creation!
