I'm completely exhausted so I'll just write down a few memory joggers...
Yesterday I tried making a cooked egg in a tomato (cook for longer next time & use cheddar). The rest of the day was spent climbing a mountain with some of the best views I have ever seen! We also met a little mountain goat who seemed terrified of us as much as I was of the hieght we were at. (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a5/Chamois_R_R_Carpatica.JPG) We were only about 20 feet away and he nearly climbed down the steep cliff (nearly straight down).
At the very top it was a little terrifying and I needed to crawl to the box but after having our lunch was able to get up and do the Charleston with Xavier (xavier wants me to say that it was my idea but I think you probably know that already). As we were walking down began singing a u2 song then ran into an insane man who almost knocked me out with a rock. After this we let him pass us and continued hearing him talk to himself for a while.
Once we reached the bottom there was a romanic monastery built around the 11th century having faded crusade crosses along the wall! (http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Cec%C3%ADlia_de_Montserrat)
Around the other corner was the montserrat monastery which is the main tourist attraction. They apparently make a very good cheese thing and have a black virgin mary & jesus that people were lined up around the church to go & see.
Directly from there we went to a village (monistrol) for a quick walk around and water break.
Then we went home to get ready for the concert at Palau de la Musica where we heard Xavier Coll play a variety of music from 16th c. -modern.
Today went on a tour of Gaudi seeing his hospital, park and cathedral (which we're not sure is a cathedral or not). We also discovered the camera on Xavier's cell phone and are now taking pictures :) problem is we're unsure of how to get them off of the cell phone... at least they're around though.
