[Grace] Unesco World Heritage

On this trip, we have been to a lot of Unesco World Heritage Sites. For a place to become a World Heritage Site the United Nations needs to think it has special physical or cultural significance. After looking at the list, I think it can get pretty biased at times, but it's still interesting to look at. Overall, we went to 30 World Heritage Sites, with the most (5) in Morroco.
