Having returned home, I realize that trip adds a couple of more places to my list of all time favorite place names:
The Virunga Volcanoes of Rwanda
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
Older favorites:
The Makgadikgadi Pan, Botswana
The Great Karoo and The Little Karoo, South Africa
Byzantium / Constantinople / Konstantinupolis / Istanbul (all the same place)
Zanzibar – Persian for ‘land of the blacks’?
Dar es Salaam(Haven of Peace)
The Flaming Cliffs, Mongolia
Skeleton Coast, Namibia
Ronkonkoma, Patchogue, and Speonk – all on Long Island, NY
