After we came back from Angkor Wat, my husband decided he wanted to try to see all the World Heritage sites. There's over 800 of them now, so we'd better get cracking. :) He's ahead of me on the list, though, because he's been to Russia, India, and Sri Lanka, and I haven't (yet).

So far I've gotten to about 25 of them. My mom & I are going to Curacao in April for our annual mother/daughter trip, so we'll get to see the old part of Willemstad, which is another site. I'm a little suprised that Shwedagon Pagoda and/or Bagan in Myanmar aren't on the World Heritage list (yet?).
