RE: Surviving the Extremes: The Dead Sea is very much Alive

in #science7 years ago

Before you were born I went swimming in the dead sea (well floating - its actually quite difficult to swim in as your legs keep surfacing the water). I can remember two things

  1. When I came out I was encrusted in a thin layer of salt which was really irritatingly sticky and I had to walk some way to get it rinsed off
  2. I forgot that I'd shaved that morning - every slight scratch or mark on my face stung like hell.
    Happy days..
Sort:  

I think somewhere in the past I vaguely recall being told about you being there! I've always just kinda known either way. I sure don't miss the days where shaving involved multiple cuts to the face... eesh. Then again I still can't grow a proper beard anyway so what do I know
