Dead Sea

Jordan Border crossing. We just arrived at the King Hussein bridge into Palestine. The cab driver decided to shut the meter off halfway to set his own fare. The guard at the border turns us away. It happens to be a holiday in Israel. "closed, closed, come back tomorrow!" We decided to make the best of it and head towards the Dead Sea for the day.
The water here is so buoyant! You can just sit/float here and it takes some effort to get your head under water. Any open wounds or cuts and you'll be in pain. Chris had a couple small cuts that started killing in the water. Thankfully, I sliced my toe open in the pool after jumping into the dead sea.... close call. The border re-opens at 7 am tomorrow so we'll pull an allnighter to pass on the $250 lux suites in the area(damn monopolies).


I'll up-load some cool floating pics once I get my SD card working again :)
