TOURISTS' PALINDROMIC GUIDE: The Americas #3

This post is a continuation of Tourists' Palindromic Guide: The Americas #1, and  Tourists' Palindromic Guide: The Americas #2.

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 October 2018 to February 2019. Geographically focused concoctions are among the many palindromic treasures honored and displayed on this site. Check out the list of entries for "The Palindrome Suite" in the slide at the bottom of the first post on this topic.

SONGLINK: Some readers will be delighted (others will continue to groan) at our collection of songs based on palindromic phrases -- click the link to the initial blogpost in this series to make these links available as well.

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.

Limericks and Locks: The Poetry of CANALS

The current offering meshes with a developing slew of map-art blogposts by Giorgio Coniglio and Dr. GH. With all this mental energy focusing backwards and forwards on palindromes, it is hard to avoid the subject of canals. And to help wordplay-buffs focus on palindromes about canals, here is an ancient blogpost on the subject: CANALINDROMES
