March 6th by Ms. Roach

Today we went to the same place that we did on march 4th. That in the eastern wall but this time wewent into the tunlels that were under the wall. To get into the place we had to go through some security and a Jewish place of worship. After that we started going through the Judian desert. The landscape went from green hills to flat and brown land. We were right next the the Dead Sea. About were the land scape got browner there was a guy that got off the bus that was selling jewlerary. Soon after that there was a sign that said that we were exactly at sea level. There was also a camel right under the sign. While on the tour we learned that the Dead Sea loses the one meter height of water a year. There is a thing that is happening over here so that they join the Dead Sea with the other side of it so that it gains all of its water back. There was some mountains by the Dead Sea but further away. We also learned that there are over 2000 sink holes around the Dead Sea. Before we went into the Dead Sea we went to mount Masada. We went in a air trolley up and a few of us (Cason, Sherry, Sarah, Emelia, Oliver, John, Marta, and some other people.) climbed down. Then we headed to the Dead Sea. But before we arrived we made another pit stop. This time we just went to a water fall. Finally we got to the Dead Sea and swam for a hour. While we were there I collected a bag of salt. After I bought some colored bath salts then we headed back to the motel.
