Masada, by Tyler

Today we traversed over what was for some a rigorous tiring journey. It not only is the largest mountain in Israel but containes a bit of history as well. Magnificent Masada was basically a home of suicide. The Jews were all trapped in the tower while the brutal Romans attempted to barge into the bastion. When captured, they planned to make them slaves, but the Jews claimed that they would rather die than be their slaves. Although it is against the Jewish religion to commit suicide, this sect of Jews preferred to die free than to live a live of slavery.  After walking around the mountain, we hiked down on the snake path, a very long set of stairs that takes you to the bottom.
