2. cool! These kind of sites might be a kindness to share with friends/family

in hospice. Even completing the "bucket list" in this manner might still be rewarding.

4. I never knew this before -

On the Eiffel Tower, seventy-two names of French scientists, engineers, and mathematicians are engraved in recognition of their contributions.

That would never fly in the good ol' US of A, would it?

Of course, this is MIT ... so not really "America".

10. Understandable, on an institution of higher education

Maybe not so much on public monuments.

I'm not a religious person but I took the Taj Mahal tour and its pretty neat. I'll do the others as time permits

9. It would be nice to see more historical sites this way ...

especially in the ME, so we could get a good look at them before someone bombs the Hell out of them.

11. Also check out Scott's Hut in Antarctica.

Frozen in time since 1912 you can wander around inside.
