Curiously for me, even though I enjoy playing with words, pictures are more memorable. Whereas words have an almost visceral quality but photos embed themselves in my brain. Ironically both are equally as evocative for me but in divergent ways. Perhaps that is why I grapple with learning a new language whereas if one shows me something visually it is an instantaneous connection and memory. I hope that you find these maps as memorable and as entertaining as I did.
