The Dead Sea, Jordan

I'm finally on my last post from our Lebanon/Jordan vacation back in May.

Our final stop in Jordan was the Dead Sea.  The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth at 400 meters/1,320 feet below sea level.

We stayed at the Marriot located right on the Dead Sea.  There are very few hotels in this area.

This region's miraculous air is dry, unpolluted and pollen-free with very little humidity.  Due to the constant evaporation, the air contains high concentrations of several minerals.  These minerals provide 8% more oxygen than anywhere else on earth and consequently makes breathing easier.

The water of the Dead Sea contains 21 minerals including magnesium, calcium, bromine and potassium.  12 of the minerals are found in no other sea or ocean.  The high salt and mineral concentration enables everyone to float but doesn't allow the proliferation of fish and other marine life.

Our hotel had pots of mud next to the sea.  Many people visit this region for the health benefits of the mud.  Tom and I also covered ourselves in mud but we were too muddy to handle my camera.

Play Bazaar It should be something you look forward to, such as a day at the spa, a massage or even a nice, healthy dinner out with friends. It needn't be anything over the top- simply a little something to keep you going. Even a tiny reminder of how well you are doing can really boost Satta King your motivation to continue!

Think about branching out once you build up some profile as an affiliate. Taking the next big step in business is important for anyone looking to make a career out of working online. If you build up a reputable brand as an affiliate, you should think about pushing your own products to keep 100% of the profit. Satta King Play Bazaar
