Bobbing in the Dead Sea

Thursday November 18 -  We drove from Wadi Rum to our resort on the Dead Sea via Aqaba, a 4 hour drive.  But we got to see Aqaba, the Red Sea and, if the weather had cleared, we might have seen Israel.  We drove past some farms, the dry river from the dry dam Al Mujib and two ‘salt pillars’ supposedly Lot’s wife who was turned into salt when she looked back.

Our luxury hotel has access to the Dead Sea where we waded in and floated on top of the water.  An interesting experience!

We fly home tomorrow.  It’s a 15 hour flight and we’ll go from hot to cold weather, day time departure to a middle of the night arrival.  It’s been a trip of amazing sights and history brought to life, new friends and adventure!  But we’ll be glad to be home in time for Thanksgiving where we will give thanks for the many blessings we hold dear.
