Short & Sweet/Masada & Dead Sea
MASADA/DEAD SEA--Today I made one of the biggest commitments of my life - to get up at 6:00 am and visit the Old City in the mellow morning light before the tour takes off to the Negev Desert to spend a day with the Bedouins.
For me 6:00 am is for roosters and humans with an early rising gene that didn't recombine in my favor.
This means I'll have to let the pictures tell the story. At least for now.
