Bags are found

Our bags were found the third day and were delivered to us at our Ein Gedi stay on the Dead Sea. We have clothes and lots of unnecessary things now.

We had a good day going up on Masada. Now we wish we could see the old Peter O'Toole movie of "Masada."

We later went swimming (floating) in the Dead Sea. That is always a unique experience if someone hasn't done it before so it was a required course for the Bushes. They also got to apply the Dead Sea mud before showering. It's just a fun thing to do---no really good reason----tourists just do it.

This morning I was thinking about Jo and how we went on a botanical tour here the last time she was here. A friend took our picture while we hugged a tree. I went back to the same are this morning and patted the tree again. (You didn't think Charlene would be seen hugging a tree alone do you?)
