Montserrat Part Mountain Deux

So that I can procrastinate further the rest of my trip from Montserrat.




Perfect spot to get ambushed by enemy who have positioned themselves on high ground. I think I've played too many videogames and watched too many movies.



















After about an hour and a half of walking I'm thinking I must be fairly close to the summit and my body is hoping we're close to the summit. 









YES! Finally the summit. My legs are thanking this view.











Wait. I get to that wall and see this path ahead of me. What the hell? Who builds a lookout point like that? The guy who built that must relish the fact that he's crushing the hopes and dreams of the hikers. Sick bastard.
 
Still hating that guy who built that wall.











Finally made it to the summit. 1236 meters is about 4000 feet so it's not that high of a summit but apparently Sant Jerona is the highest peak in the Catalonian lowland.



Awesome views from the top. Somehow Barcelona keeps reminding me of LA. Like I could be looking at parts of the Valley with less porn and more trees.

Thinking about heading back now after enjoying the panaroma but before I do that....







Celebratory Japanese snack.













Am I the only one that looks at stained glass and just wants to throw a rock at it? Was that lightning that just struck outside? How odd. 


It's hard not to be impressed by the beauty of a church. A perfect place to remind the peasants the power of religion and the omnipotence of G-O-D. Oops my religious beliefs just showed.

Anyways, that was my Montserrat trip. Totally recommend everyone going out there. It's the perfect day trip from Barcelona and there's enough to fill a day of sightseeing. You can get your rocks off at Montserrat. Thank you I'll be here all week. Please tip your waitress.
