I haven't started classes yet, and already I'm enjoying my first vacation. The Eid al-Fitr holiday is comprised of the three days immediately following Ramadan when everyone eats and celebrates with their family. Yesterday was the first day, and the expats at the school made a nice day trip to the Dead Sea. It was AMAZING. I can't believe people complain about being out of college and having to be an adult. If spending my day at a resort on the Dead Sea is being an adult, I'm all for it! (Okay--I do actually realize this isn't all being an adult entails.) We swam in the salt-rich water, impossible not to float!, and covered our bodies with this beautiful silver-black mud that's supposed to have wonderful cleansing properties for the skin. My skin does feel super smooth now. Here are some pictures.

Katie and I at the Bahamas-esque resort, except with a desert nearby. (This is the first time my legs and arms have seen the sunlight in weeks.)
The lovely shoreline.
