Another mountaintop experience with Ken in Israel - this time, at Masada (which means fortress in Hebrew). We crammed into a cable car with 80 other tourists to ride to the top of the mesa instead of climbing up via the Snake Trail on foot. In the photo, we are standing at the top in front of some ruins of Herod the Great's get-away palace/fortress, with the Dead Sea in the background. We definitely have the tourist look, what with those "whisper sets" hanging around our necks and plugged into our ears. They were invaluable though, for hearing our guide clearly in spite of having a large tour group and often being spread out over a considerable distance on our treks.
