"UNESCO sites I've visited" Personal Page by PA2AKgirl


In the past, I didn't seek out UNESCO (UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage Sites like I did national parks. However, it does influence me now when I'm looking for a new place to go. Usually, it's not because I want to cross another place off "the list" but because they're so incredible they're usually a primary point of interest.

Recently, I read through all the places around the world protected by UNESCO and realized I have a LOT more traveling to do;-)

The pictures are a few I've been to with the date they were added to the list of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites

If you want to see list yourself, here's the link: UNESCO's World Heritage Sites by Country.

The Cappadocia/Kapadokya region of Turkey is unbelievable...we lived about 5 hours from here and I can't wait to go back to see it again. One of the best places I've visited in my life so far.

    It's nice to see what this road looks like. We drove this road at night in late May 2005 in my 86 Mazda pickup and it was hairy. We saw a few moose around dawn. We drove through Fairbanks on the return trip to Vancouver BC.

    Hi Katey.. We're thinking about taking the Amtrak California Zephyr in the fall. Sounds like you enjoyed the train travel. We're you able to sleep ok on the train? Happy travels.. Tom

    saw a comment on a Frederick page about Thurmont....lol that brings back memories I used to go up there all the time to the lake but I remember a KKK rally in Thurmont we drove through and I gave them the finger. My husband was thinking I was crazy.
