This weekend Kevin and I got to go on a winery tour at the Torres Winery. It was a neat experience and at the end of the tour they had a little tasting of one of their white wines. We were so impressed with the quality, that we bought a bottle of a few of their other wines. Enjoy some pictures that picture happy Kevin took! : )

 After the wine tour we headed to Montserrat.  Monstserrat is a mountain near Barcelona, in Catalonia, in Spain. It is the site of a Benedictine abbey, Santa Maria de Montserrat, which hosts the Virgin of Montserrat sanctuary and which is identified by some with the location of the Holy Grail in Arthurian myth. Here we saw beautiful views of Spain and visited the monastery.
