Looking back
Our Lady of Monte at the top of the mountain.
Counting
Gizelle cracked us up again. When we left the church we were missing one person. She said they whoever it was was a bad person anyway. They had must have had to stay in the church too long to confess too many sins! LOL!!
Our Lady of Monte front
Pretty church!
Back outside
Checking out the view again. It looked like the clouds were clearing up!
A little more
You can see a little more of the church in this shot.
Nativity scene
There were many scenes of the Nativity. It was just so dark and the photos aren't very good. I thought I'd include just one pic.
Very dark
We didn't get many good photos from inside the church because it was very dark inside.
Last Emperor of Austria
Karl of Habsburg. He passed away in 1922 and was Beatified in 2004.
Cute puppy!
The church was a dog place!
Great view!
The church was at the top of the mountain. It had a great view!
Mother Church of Our Lady of Monte
The original chapel has been here since 1489.
Bill the photographer
Bill is always lagging way behind the tour group because he's taking so many pictures. I try to make sure we don't leave him behind!
Cool walkway
The stonework looked like it was so much work! I think straight was the wicker baskets and up was the church.
