Drop Me in the Water!



I experienced a high point of my life at the lowest place on earth. I showered our group with all the "low," corny puns I could think of on our drive to the Dead Sea. Hanan warned us to watch out for "big fish" in the water...her way of teasing us because there are no living things in the high-salt-content sea.


It felt like stepping into a giant, heated tub full of bath salts. I watched as Vivek , Michelle, and Kevin had the salt sweep them off their feet. It looked like they were sitting on inner tubes. Kevin took his shoes off, and they floated beside him. I stepped in and started to float so suddenly that I panicked and started flailing my arms, fighting to touch the sand with my feet. Vivek said, "Tina, what are you doing? Just relax."


I stopped flailing, and whoa! I bobbed gently in the water, and had to be convinced to leave!
