May 2014 On Thursday we took a trip to Masada and the Dead Sea. Masada and the Dead Sea are located in the Southern part of Israel. But before I talk about them, I want to start with our bus ride down there. To get to Masada we drove right next to, and even through at some points, the West Bank. I want to share some of the photos I took from the bus on the way down. These are apartment buildings that were being financed by the Saudi government for Arab-Israelis and Palestinia
