Wow you visited Jerusalem in 2010 and you are recounting your experiences so well, it must of had a lasting impression on you! My favorite pictures are the golden dome and the beautiful design of the outside structure of the temples...is that right? I think the biggest deterrent for me to ever visit Jerusalem is the safety. But as you mention it, Jerusalem can be very safe. Avoid bus lines and rail, I completely agree; everytime I have seen something on CNN it has been from an incident related to that. Yes, stay away from big crowds and you should be fine! It'd be cool for you to post another travel post! Or the food you ate. I'm following you now. Cheers! :)
