The day after the wedding we left Jerusalem and we headed to our next destination, the Dead Sea. On the way we stopped and visited a Bedouin tent where we were treated to lunch and we rode a camel.

Later that day we reached the Dead Sea and you really do float on top of the water!

We had a great time staying by the Dead Sea. We discover the Dead Sea Outlet Mall and we have lots of Ahava products to bring back as gifts.

The next part of our trip has us heading to Eilat to stay. On the way we stop to see Masada. This is the site that Jews held off the Roman army for 3 years and finally when defeat was near the remaining defenders committed suicide rather than be captured by the Romans. The catapults aimed at the structure are still there.

After spending time touring Masada we continued on to Eilat. This is on the Red Sea and a lovely place to vacation.

From Eilat we traveled to Tiberias. This is located on Lake Kinneret or the Sea of Galilee as it is also known. We stayed at a kibbutz while we were there. They even have their own fish restaurant that people travel to by boat.

We stopped in Safed. Famed for being the center of Kabbalah and also famed for the artists that exhibit there.

We stayed at the Tel Aviv Hilton which is very handy to walking on the boardwalk. On Sunday they do Jewish folk dancing on the boardwalk in front of the Ben and Jerry's!
