Israel: Driving South (Masada Part I)

After a good sleep, we headed out the next day to Masada.

I really wanted a camel picture. But this one would only show me his rump.

And then the friendly fellow turned towards me and seemed to almost smile at me for his picture!

The terrain was so beautiful!

And soldiers were there, too.

There was really no question whether we would ride the cable car or walk it up! Broken foot meant cable car!

Do you see the little walking path up to Masada?

And besides, this was my five kids' first time EVER to ride a cable car! We were so excited! Sort of.

It was a short ride up and a memory that I hope will last.
