Day at the Dead Sea

On Thursday, our family went to the Dead Sea. Our grandparents are visiting and we've been saving this experience for when they were here and now we finally did it! It was an experience of a lifetime. The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth. Also, when you you look across the water, you can see Jordan on the other side. The border is right in the middle of the sea. It is also called the Salt Sea because it is so salty that you can float in it. Fish cannot survive in it because of the salt and if you taste it, it's bad luck for you because it tastes really bad. You can't splash or swim in the Dead Sea because if it gets in someone's eyes or in their mouth it will sting. All you do is float. Another subject the Dead Sea is famous for is its mud. The mud at the Dead Sea is so soft and so nice and it has minerals in it so people put it on their skin and faces. To me, it's a little gross. I tried a little, but only on my arms. It feels hot and soft and I didn't like it. We had a great time there and it was so fun for everyone that my parents said we could definitely go back.
