A Delightful Dip In the Dead Sea

Seeing is believing, thus, we went to the Dead Sea to see if were really going to float.  Most of us changed in the packed changing room, had a shower before immersing our beautiful bodies in the famous sea. Shirley and Portia were too self conscious so they just contented themselves in watching our antics after getting bored of soaking their feet in the sea water for a few minutes.

I was also shy but I also wanted to enjoy the feel of the sea on my body so I brought a wrap which, I intended to dispose when I go into the water. However, I was overwhelmed by my shyness that I was not able to remove it, thus I had my pictures, with me wrapped in a sarong on top of my very modest bathing suit. I think Hanna has the same problem as me, because when we asked her when she went to as we board the bus towards the Mashabim Kibbutz, she told us that she went as far as she could see us without her being seen by us of course.

We really had a great time. Besy and for a time, Judit very kindly hold me because I was very afraid to relax in the water since I dont know how to swim. We tried to stay immersed in the sea water because we felt the oily feel of the water as soon as we get in, thus, remembering Ms. Janettes words that our skin would be much smoother afterwards. Hanna and Aneta even wanted to go back the following morning, I think.
