After a few days in Barcelona, Gabe, Orion, and Dan drove north, through the Pyrenees, into southern France. Here is a photo of Montserrat, the "serrated mountain" outside Barcelona, which is also the site of a Benedictine abbey.
We drove to La Seu D'Urgell, a beautiful town in the isolated Segre valley of the Catalan Pyrenees. Here are photos of the 13th century cloisters, next to the 12th century cathedral of Santa Maria d'Urgell, one of the oldest in Catalonia.
A closeup of the fancifully carved Romanesque pillars of the cloisters.
Driving over a mountain on the border of Andorra and France, we came across a herd of wild horses. It was quite a sight to see them emerge from on one side of the road, then to disappear into the fog on the other side.
A baby horse and his pregnant mama, who is watching us with suspicion.
