Sitting Beside the Dead Sea

I love open WiFi.  Especially when I'm hanging out near the Dead Sea.  Now you may be wondering - "Mike, why aren't you IN the Dead Sea?"  Unfortunately, this morning I had a flare up of a cornea abrasion I suffered 6 years ago at the hands of a USA Today.  Somehow, surrounding myself with salt water seemed like an absolutely terrible idea. 

We spent a large part of the day today at Masada.  This was probably the first time that I got to truly come up close to Roman ruins.  We watched the sunrise, discussed the history, and walked down the side of the mountain. 



A nature preserve was the next spot.  Some attractive waterfalls, and the Deer-like Ibix.  I learned that Deer are Kosher, but Ibix are not - something about hoof splitting.  Who knew?



Word has gotten around that I have a computer, and I've been able to find WiFi hot spots.  Of course, everyone has been asking to check their email.  I'm debating whether or not to charge.
