Today we went to the Dead Sea, Masada, and Jericho. We also went to Qumran, the place where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found.

When I get home, I will post many more pictures and accounts of the places we've been to, but I am finding that I am just so tired that I cannot post as much as I want to.

Here are a few photos:

This is taken at Masada, where in order to not be taken and made to be slaves, the last rebels that resisted being taken over by the Romans committed suicide en masse.

This is one photo of the Dead Sea. I painted while we were there, and did not try the waters. I had fun anyway :-)
