There was a very early morning meeting time for the Barca kids at Placa Espanya...
Brian got sick and had to turn back, but the others forged onward, determined not to fall asleep on the hour-long train ride to Montserrat. 
Finally the students arrived, though the hour of sleep could never have made up for the sleep lost this semester in studio, clubs, and apartment gatherings.
Suddenly, it was like the students were magically turned into paparazzi...what could have been the cause??
Montserrat, of course. A mountain in Catalunya which attracts tons of people each year on pilgrimages not only for religious purposes, but for the natural beauty that is this mountainous region.
While most students rejoiced, Gisela was not so sure about our next mode of transportation...hanging just isn't her thing.
Victoria on the other hand was able to flash a smile to take the students out of paparazzi-mode long enough to grab a snack and a gondola to the top.
Sean looked back over the 5-minute journey and wondered how he would ever make it back down. 
It is easy to see why monks and hermits and the Virgin Mary would want to chill here.
Bob contemplates becoming a hermit
Until we get distracted from plans for the holy-life by some Catalan-pride, hanging regally on one of the rounded edges of the mountain.
This is a fairytale.
...At least that's the way we'll describe it so you aren't too jealous...
