On the same field trip to the Dead Sea, on Monday, we also went to Masada. This is a city ontop of a huge moutain making it the perfect fortress that is isolated from anything else. Herod the great built a huge palace on the edge so that it had some shade from the hot sun. We were allowed to wear shorts for this field trip, and I am very greatful we were able to because it was really hot, and I do not understand how these people survived the heat. Then again I wonder the same things with people from AZ and UT hahah. We went around exploring the area and we found a huge cistern, a place to store water, and it reminded me of the story Daniel in the Lions Den. Here is a picture of me in the cistern...
