Journal Entry:

I thought yesterday was hot. Wrong. The thermometer I saw was at 37° C (right over 100° F). Spent a significant part of the day in Mc Donald's as it's air conditioned. Passover makes getting something decent to eat a bit challenging, even Mc Donald's has a special passover menue (only chicken nuggets and quarer pounders - but the QPs come on special buns that taste worse than cardboard). Passover also means no busses run until evening. Caught the 5:30 bus back to Jerusalem. For variety I checked into a different hostel.

Made arangements to go visit a number of tourist sites around the Dead Sea tomorrow. Seems like a good way to start Easter would be watching the sun rise over the Dead Sea from the top of the ancient fortress of Masada. Unfortunately that means I have to get up at 3 AM tomorrow morning.
