Our 5-1/2 hour drive will take us through the Pyrenees Mountains and across the French border into Spain. Our goal is to make it to Montserrat in time to see the Boys Choir at 1:00pm. Leo kindly lets us sleep for two hours as we travel through the darkness. After crossing into Spain Leo quietly breaks our silence with "Good morning pilgrims." 

After a short stop at Restaurant Co d Oskar in the mountain ski town of Vielha for coffee we are back on the road to Montserrat. 

3 -1/2 hours later we arrive at the Montserrat Sanctuary. This is one of the main tourist stops for people who live around Barcelona. During the day bus loads of visitors arrive. We arrive at peak time, with busses unloading hundreds of passengers.
