Day Trip to Montserrat


When Sunday came along, Will, Tyler, Virginia, and I decided to make day trip to Montserrat. The trip was absolutely incredible. We started with our 45 minute train ride, which was followed by a 5 minute air lift up to Montserrat. It was beautiful. Because it was Sunday, there was a service being held in the basilica. That was our first stop for the day. There were so many people in the church that we really couldn't see anything but we could hear the choir and they were wonderful. After the service, we visited the museum. The museum had pieces by Picasso, Dali, and much more. After lunch, we continued our journey by hiking up two of the mountains. The second mountain we were hiking up, we found an open piece overlooking the entire area. Virginia had the urge to do yoga, so she did yoga while teaching me and our new friend, Rafi. After our yoga session, I decided to do some gymnastics. I did not know if I was ever going to get the chance to do gymnastics on top of a mountain at Montserrat again. So i decided to do a dangerous, but liberating, handstand on the top of the mountain. Not only was it an amazing feeling but it resulted in a really cool picture. Our day trip to Montserrat was definitely unforgettable.
