figueres

We got off the train with all of our bags in the small city Figueres. I realized real quickly that my parents didn't really have a plan. The only thing that is in Figueres is the Dali Museum, and my parents love Dali so we set out for the museum.

Walking up to the Dali Museum was funny. Out of nowhere you start to see a giant glass egg as you get closer you start to see more weird shit. Outside there is a big statue made of random things and little gold people that line the top of the building. You walk into a court yard before you actually go into the museum that has another bizarre statue involving a cadilac, a boat, a big woman with penis' for nipples and more little gold people. Its very bizarre, my parent and I just sat there and laughed for a good while. The museum itself just gets stranger. The museum has a theatre theme therefore there are lots of interactions between the art and the people. I felt like I was in pee wee hermans house, a fun house, and on some type of physidlic drug. It almost seemed too weird and my attention was so scattered trying to absorb everything that I missed seeing a lot of the art. We spent a good while there seeing everything and then headed to the bus station. We missed the bus to Cadaques by about 5 mins and the next one wasn't for three hours. So we had a lot of time to kill in Figueres.

We walked back to the Dali house and stared at all the eggs that line the building. I think my mother is worried that my dad might line our house with eggs now.
There is something really charming about small cities and how everyone comes out to one event. Figueres is so small so about everyone from the city was out in two different squares. In one square a band was setting up to play; we never actually saw them play. All the little kids were running around and getting balloon animals from a clown. Another square looked like a dance show was about to happen. There were a lot of girls dressed to do flamenco and other kids were dressed like Michaels Jackson. We couldn't stay to see them perform but I'm sure it was an end of the year performance. It was great that they had so many outdoor spaces.
