Vall de Nuria
Last Friday Aiden and I went to the Pyrenees. We had to take two trains to get there. The first train was about a 2 hour journey to the foothills of the Pyrenees, we then got on a cog train and that took us up to a small resort area in the mountains. We are up about 9,000 meters above sea level. In the winter time Vall de Nuria is a big ski resort, but the rest of the year, there are many hiking trails to check out. It was great to be in the mountains again, we went for a short hike to a lookout point and spotted many Spanish Elk. It was very cool. The snow was melting and there were many mountain streams running down the mountain. It was a nice contrast to
Barcelona, that has been suffering a drought for the last four years. Coming down from the mountain in the cog train we saw more elk and a marmot.

From Wikipedia:Mount Everest, is the highest mountain on Earth, as measured by the height of its summit above sea level, which is 8,848 metres (29,029 feet).
And you were higher in the Pyrenees ???
It's confusing those measures in Europe, is'n it?
How about 9,000 feet? = 2,950 meters.
But nevertheless, you are seeing a lot of the world!
