First, a small Christmas greeting:

We counted down to the New Year at Placa de Catalunya, one of the major squares in Barcelona. I had honestly hoped for some more excitement, and there was apparently no public fireworks in the city. Whle Placa de Catalunya managed to gather thousands on people for the New Year, there was no digital clock or anything to provide for a count down. Most people were therefore rather confused as to when the New Year was supposed to begin, but wild shouting errupted a few seconds into 2007. By then, I guess most people were convinced that the New Year had arrived.
The following day, we visited the Montserrat Monastery, which is located about one hour outside of Barcelona. We were lucky not to have gone today, as a major massive rockslide has almost completely isolated the monastery.
