The Unsinkable

The Dead Sea is a place that most people have heard of, some people know where it is, and a few have actually been to.  We were lucky enough to visit the Dead Sea and experience the amazing feeling of floating in a sea that is so high in salinity that nothing can live in it.  It actually felt more like sitting in the sea than floating - it is a feeling that is very hard to explain.  Perhaps the pictures can do a better job:
