Seaside Getaway

For those of you who felt sorry for me after reading this I hope the following love update will put you at ease. Dear Husband, who grows dearer by the day, whisked me off for a day and a night to the Dead Sea, which is just 40 minutes from home. Oh, those 24 hours passed too quickly! Though it is still sweater/jacket weather up in the city, the Dead Sea exists in a completely different biosphere; the weather was perfect and warm enough for a float in the sea. Sunsets over the sea are always beautiful and though I'm not a great photographer, I believe this photo begins to capture the serenity we experienced.

Instead of waking to the sound of school buses and construction equipment we woke to the sound of singing birds--lovely!

Our final hours were spent back on the beach, where we once again enjoyed the warmth of the sun, the soothing and healing water of the Dead Sea, and a full body Dead Sea mud masque--this is the real fun of a trip down to the beach. Sort of brings back memories of early childhood. And the results are instantly noticable--soft, soft, skin.

And just to show that my grip on vanity is loosening, I'll go ahead and post a picture of us covered with mud--though I will make this photo a little smaller than the rest and I did crop out our bodies. I don't want to shock anyone--especially any early morning readers!
