Overcoming Boredom

Oh, to dream the impossible dream…

My biggest dream in life is to visit all the UNESCO World Heritage sites in the World.

According to the UNESCO World Heritage Centre there are currently 878 UNESCO World Heritage as of 2009.

Looks like I have my work cut out for me.  I don’t know if I’ll ever fulfill my goal, but it’s worth a try!
