The Dead Sea










The Dead Sea was crazy. I really don't know how to describe it. People always talk about how you float in it. It is no joke. You couldn't go under even if you tried. I walked into the water and I was kind of like, ok, this is normal. Then I got to where I couldn't touch anymore and I was still walking. It was so weird. I just kept walking. Obviously I am not on top of the water, but my chest was above water. If you just lay back you will float. I took my camera out into the water and got some pretty cool pictures. I felt really gross, yet my skin felt really smoothe in the water. I really can't describe it any better than that. It was a lot of fun.

I'm excited to see pictures of that. I've heard a lot about how you float but have a hard time imagining what that is really like.

Once I saw a documentary on how ladies in the 1950s went to go picnic in the Great Salt Lake with floating tables, etc.

I guess you can vouch for the safety of salinity, eh?

Way to go, Jordan. When you get back, you should talk 'Shley into going to the Great Salt Lake... she's already talking about how amazing it would be to "Sit on the lake."
