18 for me - half of those in the UK, guess I'm more a cultural than a nature gal since there is only one Nature site (the Everglades). One of the U.S. sites is in Puerto Rico, and one in my hometown. Can't believe I've been to Paris twice and have yet to make it out to Versailles...

Cool site ~
I wonder if there are more duplicates: Waterton/Glacier International Peace Park and Kluane/Elias are listed both Canada and US.
My list is relatively short but I do feel some satisfaction that I have made it to over half of the 13 Canadian UNESCO sites.

On a quick pass through the list, 74.
Among potential duplicates, Iguazu is listed for both Argentina and Brazil, but then, you really should see it from both sides.
