  35. This is wonderful! I can hear those bagpipes :)
    I took my picture when visiting the Palace of the Inquisition in Cartagena Colombia while on a cruise.
    I chose it to fit the theme because the Inquisition was a time when everyone had to think the same or else be punished.
    TY for visiting mine, I was unable to get onto the site all day today :( Hopefully can catch up with everyone now.
