Whitney, Nicole, Dan and I set off early Wednesday morning for Ein Gedi, a nature reserve encompassing a few Wadi's near the Dead Sea. Little oasis' with pools of gushing water - almost like a little piece of jungle amidst a sea of sand. We did a few other things in the area before retiring at the Youth Hostel.
It was so beautiful out and Ein Gedi was a sea of color and waterfalls.
At 4AM, we awoke, dressed, and headed to Masada. However, you can't enter the park until sun up. So, we waited. Then, as they opened the park, I bounded up and was the first person to hike to the top. As I arrived though, people came out of the cable car. My plans to take some photos sans people were dashed to pieces. I raced past them, but as I took out my camera, hoards of kids poured out from the western side coming up the roman road. I gave up at that point.
We continued our day in Eastern Jerusalem finishing up in the Dead sea where I went through two mud treatments. It was wonderful. Lunch in the shade and then we headed to Jerusalem to drop me off, only getting slightly lost.
