Israel
Riding a Camel in Jerusalem!
Dead Sea
Do you know how the Dead sea got its name? Its called the Dead Sea because there are no living animals in it. It is 35% salt, which is very salty. The ocean is only 3.5% salt! Rivers flow into it and, because it's the lowest point on earth, nothing flows out of it. Also, a lot of the water evaporates and leaves the salt behind. That's why you can float in it so easily. It is like sitting on a chair. I was very surprised because I didn't think I was going to float. We also did a mud treatment, where you put mud all over yourself, wait 10 minutes in the sun so that the mud gets all dry and crackly on your skin, and then you dry it off. After that our skin felt very smooth and soft. We also saw where a lot of events happened about 2,000 years ago. These events were special to Christians, Muslims and Jews, which is why they call Isreal the Holy Land. We saw Jerusalem, Nazareth, the Sea of Galilea and the Jordan River.
