I didn’t take these pictures.  A friend did during her recent trip to Israel.  I’ve been to Israel and it is spectacular and, regardless of your religious beliefs (or lack thereof), everyone should try to make it there.  I’ve not been to the Dead Sea or to The Masada, but based on these pictures.  I’ll have to go there the next time I visit Israel. 

Thanks to EW for sending these to me.  You can see some of my Israel pictures (Old Jaffa, The Wilderness, The Old City) if you scroll down in my travel blog. 

Good morning Shanghai!  The distant cranes are along the Huangpu River near Pudong Avenue.

We took a little trip down to Amish country.  These are some of the views on the way to Charm.
