Saturday is our last full day in Israel and we can each choose how we want to spend it before flying back to New York early Sunday morning.
My choice is an easy one: I'm driving down along the Dead Sea to Masada with three of the younger men on the trip from Allantown, PA and we're hiking to the top. They're two doctors and a lawyer---my kind of demographics---and everyone appears to be in good shape.
Interestingly, these men don't have wives who would dream of making this hike and so they can't imagine that I---a mid-lifed woman---can make it to the top or would even want to. Who knows, maybe they're right.
But now that they've hounded, challenged and insulted me, I have no choice but to go and stand up for myself and my age group as best as I can!

Don't throw me in the briar patch, fellows.

Ken, Running up in 20 minutes is quite a feat! You must be a high altitude runner. We made it up the 1,100 feet gain in about 50 minutes. I and the guys found it short, steep and invigorating. Was especially nice doing it before going to the airport and 20 hours of incarceration at gates and in tightly packed planes.
Wedid have a great guide who gave us much history too.
Oh, I see. Still that's a great time up! BTW, there's a new tram we came down on which takes 3.5 minutes both up and down.
