On our recent New Mexico trip, we drove to the Taos Pueblo, which is a Unesco World Heritage site. As we stood in the rain and looked at it, I wondered a couple of things.
First, why did this pueblo get picked over the Acoma Pueblo? In my opinion, there needs to be a recount.
Second, how many World Heritage sites have I visited?
I cannot answer the first question, but I can dang sure answer the second one. Here is the list by country.
