Official Center of the World
We visited the Official Center of the World located in Felicity, California. The Official Center of the World is based upon a children's book COE The Good Dragon at the Center of the World. Gov. Dukemajeon of Ca. recognized Felicity as the Center of the World. Not to be outdone, Senator Pete Wilson pushed legislature through Congress which also recognized the Official Center of the World. You can take a tour for $2 per person. During the tour, you stand on the official center of the world marker and receive a certificate. Also located at the Official Center of the World is part of the staircase from the Effiel Tower. You can also view the World Commemorative Center which engraves in granite the highlights of the collective memory of Humanity. The granite museum walls are engineered to last for 4000 years. The names of 4,617 U.S. Marines killed in the Korean War are engraved there. You can also view the history of Aviation and the story of the Foreign Legion. The 8 walls of the History of Humanity are also being engraved. You can view more pictures by clicking on the link on the right "travel photos"
