Paddling the Dead Sea
There are lots of odd places to paddle, but here is one of the odder ones:
the Dead
Sea. In case you're not up on your geographical trivia, the Dead Sea is the lowest sea…nay, the lowest water body
on the planet. It sits 400 meters below sea level. It is also the saltiest Sea (or lake) in the world. Oh, and it
smells. Bad. So why would anyone want to paddle the Dead Sea? Because it's there. Because it's cool to tell your
friends, "Oh, I paddled the Dead Sea." Maybe.
Of course, some people beleive bathing (although that's an odd term to use since you must rinse off immediately after
going in the water) the Dead Sea is highly therapeutic. They say the waters
possess almost magical properties of healing. Well, I floated in the Dead Sea once and all I got out of it was an itchy
butt crack. So if that's your thing, by all means, go for it.
