The Dead Sea 7-5-11

I was invited to a BBQ at a home by the dead sea. It reminded me a lot of Florida, with its palm trees and humidity. Sitting there by the family pool, I looked across the sea to land and they told me that was Israel. It looks like you can swim across to it, in reality swimming is restricted to certain areas to prevent this. There were some scary wild cats fighting over some scraps of food, otherwise it was a quite and peaceful evening.
