Thanks for all the greetings, both email and phone. It did feel a little strange being alone on my birthday but I decided to take the train to the monastery Montserrat, high in the hills behind Barcelona. The train ride itself was rather uninteresting until we changed to the cog wheel train which zigzagged up the mountain for a good 20 minutes. It was an impressive climb, and the rock formations and views were spectacular.
The next day involved another of those luxurious 1st class train rides - this time Barcelona to Madrid. I think I have finally figured out that if I paid a little more for my reservation I get the wonderful breakfast. Yeah!
Sometimes I feel as if this blog centers a little too much around food.
