Today was a LONG day! But it was absolutely amazing! We woke up at 3:30 a.m. After a short, dark bus ride we were at the base of Masada. Our guide, Hagai, is amazing and so knowledgeable about everything.

My favorite part of the day was absolutely Ein Gedi. Our guide called it a nature walk, but to me and everyone else from Miami, it was an intense hike. We swam in a spring and saw the most beautiful waterfalls.

Next we traveled to the Dead Sea. We floated. We laughed. We bites. But, it was great. My skin feels amazing.

We ended the day at the Bedouin tents with a delicious dinner and fantastic star gazing. Even though I probably won't get much sleep tonight in this big tent, this day, and this trip have been amazing.

Thank you so much for the most incredible opportunity.
