Dead Sea, Israel


 
HOMEWARD BOUND: Emotional and tearful farewells and the traditional adieu of "Next year in Jerusalem" were prompted when two-thirds of the 2009 Journey Home Tour participants – weary but inspired – headed to Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv late Sunday night for the initial leg of the long trip from Israel to their respective homes.

DAY SIX HIGHLIGHTS: Saturday’s events included a drive to the region surrounding the mineral-rich Dead Sea, the lowest place on earth at 1,365 feet below sea level. The group visited Qumran, where Essenes wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls about the Bible and the sect that lived in the area; took a cable car to Masada, Herod’s once-magnificent palace and fortress and the site of the last Jewish stand against the Romans in 73 AD; and floated in the saltiest body of water on earth. Once the floaters emerged from floating in the salt water, they covered themselves in black mud hoping to feel younger and have their skin feel smoother.
