Salvador Dali Museum!

On our way home from France, we stopped at a town in Spain called Figueres to visit the Salvador Dali museum! Dali was a very interesting (and strange) man, but his art is incredible. It is full of double meanings and symbolism, and I LOVED learning about it! Here is the outside of the museum... how cool!


This is one of my favorite paintings that we saw...



At first glance, I saw the two women wearing red and green in the top right corner. But if you look again, you can see the face of a matador! Samantha and I loved this painting... Sam even bought a small print of it in the gift shop! We had a great time in the museum, but after out guided tour, we were SOO hungry. I set out with Lindsey and Sam to find a nice spot to eat. We ended up ordering a bunch of RANDOM food and sharing it... chips & guac, tortellini, a pizza, and sangria! It was a weird lunch, but we were excited to get a break from seafood! After lunch, we had a lot of free time to wander around the town. Only problem... it was siesta time, so a lot of the stores were close! On our walk, we saw a sign that said "New York Brownie" and of course that caught our eye. I am the biggest sucker for chocolate, and I have been pretty deprived on this trip. Many times in the past 3 weeks, I've said, "I would kill for a brownie with ice cream!" Lucky for me, that's exactly what the New York Brownie was :)


It cost 4.90 euros, but it was definately worth it!!!
