We saw the coolest racetrack -- a Roman Hippodrome. Long straights and tight turns. Death had to be a part of the spectacle.

Went to Masada, Qumran today and swam in the dead sea. Masada is the placeof the last stand of the Jewish Zealots in the war against Rome in 66-73 -- Rome won
but this is the toughest ancient fortress I have ever seen. Watch the old movie with Peter O'Toole if you want a perspective.
When on the dead sea, which is getting lower and lower we were 1330' BELOW sea level. It is the lowest place on earth. The Israeli jets will fly below sea level. Incredible. Qumran is where the found the Dead Sea Scrolls. The writitings are of a Jewish Religious sect called the Essenes and contain the oldest copies of portions of Jewish scripture known. We are staying in the Palestinian quarter. Believe it or not they are very nice people. More tomorrow. Dan

I went to the SUQ (street market) on my day off --- the best comeon line was, "Come into my shop and let me rip you off!" Dan

The history there is incredible.
I wish more Americans could see what you've seen. We've had it hammered into us that the Palestinians are nuts, that middle easterners are crazy, blah blah blah. They're actually much like American southerners -- very generous and hospitable, but don't cross them.
I'll tell ya...fellas......you're gonna want more cowbell!

I was at the area of the demonstration over the assasination of the Palestinian leader last week. Everyone was kind to us. Let me respond tomorrow night.

I The plane won't take off because of winds. I was hoping to share more but have a 30 hour day today. We went over six time zones and kept catching the
sun.
