TOURISTS' PALINDROMIC GUIDE: The Americas #2


This post is a continuation of #179, Tourists' Palindromic Guide: The Americas #1.
SATIRE COMPOSED: Giorgio Coniglio (registered pseudonym) and Dr.G.H., 2018. 
WORDPLAY LINK: The panels showing palindromic phrases derived from geography of the Americas were originally displayed on Wordplay posts on this blog during the interval from May through September 2018. Geographically focused concoctions are among the many palindromic treasures honored and displayed on this site. 

SONGLINK: In addition, some readers will be delighted (others will continue to groan) at our collection of songs based on palindromic phrases.

GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR WEB-EXPLORERS: 
To resume the sequence of daily titillations on our related blog "Daily Illustrated Nonsense", click HERE. Once you arrive, you can select your time frame of interest from the calendar-based listings at the bottom of the page, and check the daily offerings for any month from the start of 2020 until December 2024. 
As of December 2024, there are 1800 unique entries available on the daily blog, displaying individual poems (often illustrated) and wordplay, but also with some photo-collages and parody song-lyrics. Most of their key elements are also presented here on "Edifying Nonsense" in topic-based collections, such as this one. The "Daily" format also has the advantage of including some song-lyrics, videos and other material that are not shown here on this topic-based blog.

 This post is the second in a series on Toronto's system of ravines, a relatively undiscovered treasure which encompasses many of the most interesting parks characteristic of our city. You may want to check out the other collections of photos in this series "Hikes, Bikes and Likes: TORONTO RAVINES" #1 (September 15), #3 (October 5), and #4 (November 10).
