"Overrated" Travel Sites Still on My Bucket List
Source: http://travel-babel.blogspot.com/
I live in Boulder, Colorado, which has again been named the "smartest city in America" -- most recently by The DailyBeast and previously by Forbes. I sometimes think that I am virtually only person in town over the age of 25 without a master's degree -- or more. Now a website called OnlineMasters has come up with the six most overrated historical sites in the world.
Click on the link above to read their reasons, but meanwhile, here's the list:
1. Stonehenge
2. The Colosseum
3. The Alamo
4. Machu Picchu
5. Petra
6. Angkor
The only one I've ever seen is the Colsseum, and that was during a long-ago, post-college European tour that featured a lot of capitals, including Rome. I've seen other, smaller more remote stone circles in the British Isle but never Stonehenge. I would like to visit San Antonio, and if/when I do, I will certainly go to the Alamo.
Boulder's token dolt that I am, without a master's degree -- online or otherwise -- Machu Picchu, Petra and Angkor are still I my bucket list.
