How cool wouldn’t it be to have a World Heritage Site dedicated to your honor? Cause that’s pretty much what Monticello is; a place where two of Thomas Jefferson’s greatest accomplishments are in focus: the declaration of independence and his beloved estate. I don’t know which one he’s most proud of, no matter what they’re both amazing creations. It’s hard to not be impressed by this man: he was self-taught in most of his skills, he was very open to influences from other countries and cultures and despite a marvelous career he still managed put his passion for life at first.
Myself, I’m in Fredericksburg, VA and pretty close to the point where the Potomac meets the Atlantic Ocean; the coast to coast ride is almost completed in other words! But I still have two World Heritage Sites left to see, Independence Hall in Philadelphia and the Statue of Liberty in NYC is awaiting me.
