We took a field trip out to Masada. Luckily though BYU kids get special treatment and don't have to hike up the whole mountain. Sometimes we're so well taken care of here that I feel really famous. All this security. High class places we stay at where people greet us with live music and juice on trays... It's wonderfully fun. Go Paparazzi. Masada is a huge fortress on top of a mountain where Jews used to live and King Herod built it. It was one of his last resorts if people were after him he would go back up here to live. It's huge. HUGE. and high. Romans eventually took over. (as they always do).
On the tram up to the top...
A view near the top. The water in the top left of the picture is the dead sea..where we went right after this.
Jordan pushing me off the edge... I can't believe how dry it is..
A few of us girls found a cave of shade to hide out in..
One of their many water cisterns...They had to haul water up the whole mountain often to keep the cistern filled.
