Dead Sea

My last early evening and morning was spent at the Kempinski resort on the Dead Sea - the lowest elevation on earth - more than 1200 feet below sea level! Having done the Everest thing, I thought it was appropriate to add this to my list. I did the floating & mud bath things - messy but felt great afterwards,
Above pic is of Dead Sea at a spot where they say Lott's wife was standing when she "looked back" and God changed her into a pillar of salt for eternity. Bottom pic is where I'm staying. Background in both pics are Israel - Jericho being directly across sea from my resort.
