A bit of yesterday and the start of today

Started yesterday with a walking tour of the gothic area. Saw lots of impressive cathedrals, roman ruins and got a good history of the city. Annette tried to make an unscheduled confession when she yanked the door open saying "whats in here". The unsuspecting priest jumped up startled. She quickly stuttered "forgive me father for i have shopped". From there it was to la sagrada familia, the most enourmous chuch i can imagine. Still unfinished, it may be complete in 15 years. Then annette went through another Gaudi building while I relaxed at Maccas. Then it was off to an evening of walking and eating tapas while we got a bit more history. Unfortunately we stumbled upon shops and with time running out i have a feeling we will visit tonight.

Today (friday)

Walking to the metro through the streets, i decided that Barcelona is a very interesting place, and is, i concluded, probably what Europe would be like if i ever get the chance to go there. The metro service is easy to get around and even an idiot could figure it out. Luckily for us, Annette is guiding me. We are currently on the train to montserrat. The cable car and funicular are closed so lots more walking will help burn off the huge amont of breakfast calories.....13 hours later... We walked to the top of the mountain. I took a bit over 2 hours. As with getting to the top of most mountains, it was mostly uphill. Sensational views from the top followed by a slightly quicker yet much easier walk down. She who does pump and other non cardio classes struggled a bit, but i went ahead and had the food. I powered up but fear i will pay consequences tomorrow.
