The Dead Sea
So, I was tempted to stay home (in Lily's apt in Be'er Sheva) instead of traveling by myself to the Dead Sea. I've been traveling for a while, it would be difficult to watch my things while in the water, and I (always) have a lot of work I could do.
Lily was so awesome, though - she wanted me to experience it so much that she blew off her afternoon classes to come with me. It was amazing! I'm really glad she made me go. The (really really warm) water is 30% mineral - salt, bromine, and something else I can't remember right now. 
Somehow (it's been a while since I've had physics) this makes anyone able to float. I have never been able to float very successfully in water before...it was really cool. It's actually difficult to walk in the water; some say it feels as if there is less of a gravitational pull. Dad, you should try it - it would be like you're on the moon!

Lily and I bought mud at a hotel and did the whole Dead Sea spa thing. Apparently this heals "everything." Not so sure about that, but it was a lot 
of fun to slather mud all on me.
of fun to slather mud all on me. Only bad thing about it is that the water tastes awful with all those minerals. I like the taste of the ocean. At least you know there's no whale placenta in this body of water, though!
And then we went to McDonald's...
