• Barcelona and Montserrat

    We traveled to a mountain area called Montserrat today. It has a monastery, with about 70 monks live today. The trip there was interesting since we took the subway system and then a little train to get up the mountain.

    We saw the black Madonna in the cathedral and learned more her in the museums they have there as well. They also have a boy's choir that people pay to see. We heard them from outside the cathedral.

    After Montserrat, we made our way to the port to see the America's Cup event going on here. There were lots of fancy yachts in the harbor. We didn't see any races but had drinks in the fan area to people watch.

    Ended up in a restaurant that Teresa found for dinner, then made our way back to the hotel.

    It was a good day.
