One of our tours took us to Monserrat Monastery
This is a 1000 year old Monastery built in the jagged mountains.
Santa Maria de Montserrat is an abbey of the Order of Saint Benedict located on the mountain of Montserrat in Monistrol de Montserrat, Catalonia, Spain.
This video shows you a better perspective of how incredible
this Monastery
is
nestled on the side of the mountain.
It is now a boys school as well
and
the choir sings for the public for 10 minutes each day in the Chapel
We took the funicular train up the mountain to get a fabulous view of the area.
It was so beautiful.
At the end of the day,
we met back up with our tour guide to head back to Barcelona....
She said... Where were you two???
We had ditched the group.
She had a German accent
and
was translating all we saw in three languages
Catalonia, English and Spanish
By the time she got to back to English,
we didn't even realize she was speaking to us!
Note to self.... all tours need to be booked in your own language!
It was a waste of 2/3 of our day on that tour!
We were long gone by what she was translating
by
the time she got to English!
On our way home from supper that night,
I was admiring these strappy little sandals.
My everything was hurting at this point.
They were 1050 Euros...
At that price,
I expect them to be magic slippers and do the walking for me!
Then I spotted this little jigger waiting for his momma to be finished shopping
If Arnold's back pack looked that comfy I would have done the same!
Christa
