I had an incredible time at the Dead Sea!
The morning was absolutely beautiful in Amman. It was a cool
with a light breeze when we left Amman and gradually got hot and humid as we
got closer to the Dead Sea. But for the Dead Sea, the weather could not have
been better!
Floating in the Dead Sea was a really unique sensation. It was
impossible to stay down in the water for more than a second. We floated around
for a while, flipping over or trying to stand up the water. I tried a drop of
Dead Sea water – it wasn’t that good. While we were swimming, one of the
students asked if there were sharks in the water. That quickly became the quote
of the day.
Next, we tried an authentic Dead Sea mud scrub. It felt weird to
lather on mud but I could feel it “working.” When I rinsed it off, my skin
definitely felt softer.
In the afternoon, we played a game of “Tips” with some Jordanian guys.
They got pretty competitive and kept resetting the score so they wouldn't lose.
We got to practice our Arabic numbers with them while keeping score.
It was definitely a much needed, relaxing day at the beach.
