UNESCO World Heritage Site Checklist

This was begun when I couldn't sleep the other night (ok, make that early morning). I was looking at the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and I thought I'd take a look and see how many I could check off! It turns out that there are some I didn't expect on the list! Here are the places I've been to:

1. Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada
2. Rideau Canal, Ottawa, Canada
3. Archaeological Monuments Zone of Xochicalco, Morelos, Mexico
4. Escorial Monastery and Site of the El Escorial, Madrid, Spain
5. Venice, Italy
6. Historic Centre of Vienna, Austria
   

It's a start anyway! As I was browsing the list, I thought of putting up the places I really want to see! Here are a few (with links to the UNESCO website):

The Kasbah of Algiers, Algeria
The Medina of Marrakesh, Morocco
The City of Luxembourg, Luxembourg (I've just always had a fascination with Luxembourg ever since I found it on the map when I was a kid.)
Machu Picchu, Peru
Pre-Hispanic City of Chichen-Itza, Mexico

I am really interested in the Arab influence in parts of the world that are no longer Arab countries. But I am also interested in the Arab world itself. Don't know why... Actually, I think I've figured it out just now; I think it's mainly the architecture. I especially liked Spain because of my love of Mexico and then this influence of the Moors. But now I am wishing to travel more in part, so I can see more of that architecture. I reeeeally want to go to Morocco and Algeria now! Although that probably won't happen until at the very least next summer. But this will be one of my next trips... Whenever that is.
