we met Thanasis @ Plaça d'Espanya in Barcelona to go to Montserrat, Catalonia's holiest place.


we took the "Basket"..aka Cable car up...you can barley see Dee, she's below sonia's arm, 
ready to yak!...Nuria us standing next to Thanasis



view from the top, it was freezing


Dee was starting to feel sick again...i'm sure the Benedictine Monks appreciated it....NOT


in the Plaça de Santa Maria...the square before the entrance


the Basilica Facade, sculptured are Christ and the Apostles


you have to walk down this hall to enter the Basilica. clik to see--->VIDEO
Inside is a wooden statue of La Moreneta(Virgin Mary), brought here by St. Peter in 50AD.
I had some problems trying to get a snap.


Candles are lit in the caves;   Devan and Thanasis are in deep conversation...while Dee is throwing up...


the end of a beautiful time with the locals :)
