ReplyDelete...and there is not just one single 'Canary Island'! Canary islandS are;
ReplyDeleteTenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro, La Graciosa, Alegranza, Isla de Lobos, Montaña Clara, Roque del Este and Roque del Oeste.
the way Washington was added to the longest list, along with using capitals native names, Ciudad de Mexico, Distrito Federal would come in at 29 letters
