Tibidabo

A few weekends ago Jeff and I went to Tibidabo, which is a mountain that houses an amusement park, communications tower, a church and a temple.  It is visible from pretty much all of Barcelona...you can even see it here in a picture we took from our trip to the fountain

It is pretty much directly in the middle of this picture way, way, way in the distance.  It is golden color here.

In all the times I have been here I have never been up there so we attempted to get there one Saturday.  Well it was quite the journey, 1 tram, 2 trains, 1 cable car and 1 funicular later we arrived.  It took a little under 2 hours to get there.  It was beautiful though.

This is the cable car we took up to the funicular to get up the mountain.

 Here is Jeff on the cable car.

 This is the church at the top of the mountain that you can see from everywhere in Barcelona.

 Inside the church.

 On the church terrace looking out over Barcelona, you can see the amusement park below.

 You see the two buildings in the distance right above my head...we live over there.

 Jeff climbed to the top of the church to take some of the pictures, I did not join him.

 This reminds me of the Christ the Redeemer statue we saw in Brazil.

This is us in the funicular on our way back down the mountain...starting our treck back home.  It only took us 1 1/2 hours to get home.  Note: it was a HOT day so excuse the sweat and frizzy hair
