Ok, its just going to be a couple photos for the meantime. I am going to try and upload all my photos to a Flickr/Photobucket style website, then just post the link. I will get on that in due time.
In summation: Great Trip. Really very good, absolutely no complaints. Jerusalem offers the history and intersection of different cultures and religions, Tel Aviv provides the modern architecture, relaxed atmosphere and seaside climate. Who is going to argue with that. Concerns over safety I think are pretty overdone. Israel has in the past received some pretty bad press, but the key word in that being the past. Security measures are pretty tight, but to good effect. I felt very safe there. Street crime is virtually non-existent and the locals I found were quite friendly and willing to help. Knowledge of English is also widespread, which helps quite a bit for the non-Hebrew speaker like myself. Shalom baby. Oh, and toda, that is thank you. Thats all I got.
Here at the Four Corners I am not going to do Frommers' or Lonely Planet's job for them. I am just here to provide the anecdotes, and let the reader decide for themselves. That being said, I think I should just put it out there that, for the travel enthusiast, Israel is a pin you would want in your map.
