Montserrat

The first of November was holiday here in Spain, not sure which holiday.  I asked a local and they didn't even know what the holiday was for so I don't feel bad not knowing.  Jeff and I decided to make the trek to Montserrat that day, which is about an hour train ride from Barcelona.  Of course it called for light showers that day, but we decided to go anyways.  There is a monestary on top of a mountain in Montserrat you can sort of see it in the middle there.
You can only get up there by cable car or funicular.  We chose the cable car.

Here is a picture of the mountains behind us on the way up to Montserrat.
Still on our way up.
We finally made it up.  Here is the monestary.

This is the courtyard of the chapel at the Montserrat.


There were tons of candles around.
