A day trip to Figueres

After a night of dinner, bars, and clubbing (Jessica is a clubber, and it shows!) by the pier in Barcelona, we woke up and pushed off on a 2 hour train ride to Figueres to check out Salvador Dali's hometown. Once there, we got off the train and wandered until we found the museum, which is probably the most bizarre museum ever.


Here's the central courtyard, which features a statue of a woman on a car with a gunshot blown window. It looks as if the driver was shot through the glass, but that's as far as logic could take me. The place was filled with all different types of art, animatronic structures, mirrors, paintings, and sculptures. Jessica, Bethany, and I had a great time bouncing around this place, though there was a french school class fieldtrip to deal with. (Figueres is very close to the french-spanish border)
