The Dead Sea, Israel

So chronologically, it's backwards, but I had to share it first because it was so much fun swimming in the Dead Sea! :) The part that we went to was Kalia Beach.



So much salt everywhere.



Obviously, we would not waste the trip by not doing mud masks.




The strangest feeling floating, because it was hard not to float. Not really sure why salt keeps people afloat. Maybe my Chemistry buddies can refresh my memory?



This is me when I hit jackpot with the mud. hahaha I was excited.



This is the number of bottles we took home. I was afraid it wouldn't go through customs, but they did. We've been doing mud masks ever since! lol

Well, the salt increases the density of the water making your density less by comparison and it makes it easier to float; not chemistry really, just physics. If you're interested, look up something called bouyant force.
