Mount Monserrat, Spain

Tuesday Collin, Chris, Sam, Allison, and I were all suppose to go climb Mount Montserrat. The 2 guys and myself ended up going. We stopped at the super market and bought bocadillos (6 to 8-inch long portion of baguette, sliced in half and filled with sausage or another kind of cold cut of sausage) for later. Then we took a taxi about 45 minutes outside of Barcelona to get the mountain. We thoroughly enjoyed the 2.5 hour hike up along with the many site, the sites where the best part of the day! I was super excited when we saw the Pyrenees Mountain range covered in snow, they border France and Spain. At the top of Mount Montserrat is a beautiful Monastery and a young boys boarding school. We toured the Monastery and then had to catch the train down the mountain. I would have rather climbed down than mountain but then we would have had to call and wait for a taxi which would take too long.

At the end of the day I got a “Man Badge” from Chris and Colin for not wimping out and climbing a mountain! I’m suppose to keep it up to date as well……
