Day 2 - Part 3

 The whole time we were there Matt kept talking about how the mountains look like the setting for the ending of the 3rd Indiana Jones movie.

After an interesting lunch, we headed out to the location where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found.  These are some of the oldest written copies of the Old Testament.  After hanging around there for awhile we journeyed over to the dead sea where we scrubbed our bodies with mud.  Cade (one of the pastors with us) even threw on his wet suit and floated!  

Schnitzel.  Pita bread, fried chicken, salad, french fries, and hummus all together. Blecch.
