World Heritage Sites
I made a list this morning of all the UNESCO World Heritage Sites I've visited, for no particular reason. There are 830 properties on the list, and I've visited... 24 of them. I guess I'd better get cracking.
I was suprised to see so many Italian entries on my list. Though I guess it makes sense, since I was playing tourist the entire month I was there, as opposed to working all week and having fun on the weekends like almost every other place I've traveled to.
