I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo.

Amateur Traveler episode 558. Today the amateur traveler talks about ancient

palaces and crusader castles, primitive man, ancient and garbage dumps, as we talk about the UNESCO World Heritage

sites of Israel and Palestine. Welcome to the Amateur Travel Army I'm your host Chris Christensen. Without further ado, let's talk

about special things like World Heritage Sites.

I'd like to welcome back to the show Gary Art from Everything

Dash Everywhere.com who has come to talk to us again about

UN ESCO World Heritage Sites this time in Israel.

Gary, welcome back to the show.

Thank you.

I'm now in the Ten Timers Club, so I think I get a robe and a key to the clubhouse. That is quite possible.

Yes, this is the tenth time that Gary has been on the show

for those of you who are scoring at home.

We've done shows on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the United States and the UNSCO World Heritage Sites in the United States and the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Canada travel

to St. Helena to the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles in a two-part series to the microstates of Europe to the Canary Islands,

the UN Haskell World Heritage Sites in general the Gulf States and to Micronesia. So Gary you and I were both just in

Israel and you went to the rest of the UNSCO World Heritage Sites you had not been to.

Yeah, so I had previously been to Israel in 2009 and while it was there I visited

probably the more popular World Heritage Sites. We were both there for a conference

recently and I took the time to visit kind of the remaining ones that I had

visited before as well as the two World Heritage Sites in the West Bank.
