Dead Sea "mud" from Israel is said to have amazing skin-care qualities, so I had to try a mud-pack of my own!
The Dead Sea has an extremely high salt content (5 times as much as the ocean)-- so much so that you float very easily--and so much that it supports no living creatures!
In Thailand, I had the pleasure of visiting the "Scorpion Queen"--a nice young lady who didn't mind live scorpions crawling all over her!
In Belize, youngsters learn about iguana conservation in a country where many people would rather eat iguanas than save them!
