Nigeria! Only heard from Jim, Joani, Elaine, and Peyton. Let's find some place a little easier this week!
"Conciergerie Cell"
The picture of the week was one of the cells in the basement area - cold, dark, and damp. Most of those housed here never got to feel the blade of the guillotine as the plague and others diseases were the most common causes of death.
This was a most difficult shot as flash was not allowed (and, that would have ruined the impact of the room). I braced myself between the wall and one of the bars and clicked away.

Where in the World?
Here are some interesting facts about various countries of the world. Just where would I be?
One of the largest of all
islands in the Caribbean. The country also includes more than 4000 other much
smaller islands and cays.
From the air, the island resembles a crocodile or alligator and so it is often referred to in
Spanish as "El Cocodrilo" or "El Caimá".
Country is renown for its
music, bands play everywhere in its capital. The main musical form is
called son, which is a combination of upbeat rhythms with classical guitar.
Sugar from sugarcane is
the main crop grown here, followed by tobacco which is used in the making of
hand-crafted cigars that are famous for being the finest cigars in the world.
Baseball is the most
popular sport by far. The country is also dominant in boxing and has
produced a number of Olympic boxing champions.
The game of dominoes is
extremely popular.
