On Tour with Ashleigh and Morgan July 29







Tuesday, July 29th:Group 8 woke up before the sun this morning, and drove to the bottom of Masada. They began climbing the Snake path and made it to the top with plenty of time to see the beautiful sunrise over the Jerusalem Hills. Although tired when they reached the top, the group davened a beautiful Shacharit after sunrise, and then had a tour of the ruins at the top. After hiking down the mountain, they ate breakfast, and then drove to Ein Gedi, where they had a nice walk to a waterfall, and then swam in the Dead Sea. This afternoon they returned to Jerusalem and had some hours to sleep, before gathering for dinner. Tonight they had the chance to buy custom silver jewelry from a well known artist called Hadaya.






News from the front: Morgan claims the the Dead Sea stings..... but her skin is as smooth as a baby's bottom. Ashleigh claims that she didn't think that such torture could end in something so beautiful. The girls have a week to go which is way soon and still not soon enough.
