The heat and stillness are overwhelming at the Dead Sea. And the thick, soupy water is extremely salty—not refreshing at all. I was warned to avoid getting the water into my eyes or mouth (which did happen). But they say the water is great for a float, especially after applying a thick layer of Dead Sea mud all over your face and body. It didn't dry as quickly as I would have thought; perhaps I was perspiring too much in the heat. But, I must admit, while I did not look any younger after a dip, my skin did feel smooth and hydrated.

Here's a sunrise view across the Dead Sea, from Jordan (where we were staying) to Israel, across the water.
And a little kitten, one of the strays who roamed around our hotel grounds. God bless all the little LEOs.
