a fun day

If you have been following my blog at all you will know that I have seen many amazing things like David's tomb and the Western Wall and I have been to incredible places like the Holocaust Museum and the Mount of Olives.

Although our travels today did take us by the Garden of Gethsemane and Bethany (which are certainly not visits to be taken likely), for me this was my fun day.

For the first time in my life I got to sit on a camel. I have talked about doing this with my husband for many years. The other media representatives that I am on tour with said they had never seen someone so overcome with joy. It was a very cool experience (I am a huge animal lover).

Another fun thing we did today was to visit the Dead Sea and float in it. Some of you may have done this and you know there is nothing quite like it. There is no sand or mud or algae on the bottom of the sea just salt - white lumps of salt. A very unique and unforgettable experience.

Now we are heading to the south part of Israel where apparently it is 26 degrees - I'll take it!
