No, I know what your are thinking, but I am not referencing On Top of the World pertaining to being so happy that nothing can bring you down. I am talking literally On Top of the World. Thousands of feet up in the air, looking down, with nothing except clouds blocking your view for miles.
That is where we were.
This past Saturday we took the advice of one of our Professors and took the 1 hour train ride out of Barcelona to an old monastery town and basilica called Montserrat. It is a very beautiful town that is isolated up on a Mountain. You definitely feel like you are on top of everything!
We also road a cable car from the train station to the top of the peak. That was an adventure. haha

Later that night, after we had returned to Barcelona, we went to the free fountain show that they have on Monjuic. It was so amazing, probably better than the Bellagio in Vegas....
(Sorry if some of the shots are spotty, water was going everywhere. haha)

| So many fountains! |

The trip to Montserrat was a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of Barcelona and reflect on the trip so far and the fountain show was just a fun time. I have met a lot of great people already, done a lot of amazing things, and God has opened my eyes to a lot of situations that we don't often encounter back home. I have been so blessed with such an amazing opportuinty. :)
Until next time...
Un abrazo,

Wow. I really liked the hiking trail and the fountains. Wish I could be there with you sometimes. I'm about to put up some pictures of Lima on our blog... definitely not as cool as yours, but still pictures. :)
