Happy World Heritage Day

April 18 is World Heritage Day, also known as International Day of Monuments and Sites. I thought it would be an appropriate day on which to introduce you to my other blog, the Trav-a-Log, where I generally do historical and cultural travel related posts. Most of the links below are to posts on that site; some are here on Travalanche, and some are for local papers and websites I occasionally write for. These are far from all! I’ll add as I remember more. Value your heritage. For that matter, value everyone’s!
