Today was the big "hiking day" woke up at 3:30 am so that we could make it to the top of the ancient fortress Masada before sunrise. People were all talking about the crazy hike up. It was steep but really easy. It was pretty cool to be at the top of the mountain with around 100 other American Jews looking at the sin rise. We putzed around there for a while looking at ruins, then walked down in the sequel tearing heat. Legs were very sore after that. Rest of day was swimming in an amazing freshwater spring (king David took a swim there) and Ann the Dead Sea. The dead see was a really fucking cool experience, something I can't describe it's a really cool blend of science and spirituality and I really enjoyed floating around and getting all muddy.
After all the hiking today, don't notice any soreness. I bet it will be tough to start up running since I haven't done it in a while, but legs feel good and ready to go. I don't feel very strong though.
