Roman Temple

So last night we were on a mission to find these two pillars standing amongst the Gothic Quarter from the Roman days. About an hour after our mission started, we found the building that housed the roman towers. This building was of course closed because it was monday and nothing in spain is open on mondays. But, it was once again a noble try by my mother, who continues to challenge me with daily puzzles.

Today we went to Figueres which is where Salvador Dali is buried, within his museum. How interesting, design and museum for worshippers of you to gawk at and then, be buried there- weirdo! Anyway, I am not throughly impressed with his art the way my mother is. I would have been just fine with the art we saw the other day of his. But, because of my mom´s interest in him, I have been to three Salvador Dali museums, one in Florida, and two within the past three days. Figueres is a very cute town, and they seemed to be having a market today, so my mom and I bought a couple of delicious peaches. The museum was full of his oddities, but very interesting, and I try to tell myself that it is always interesting to see different things. He was certainly a different man. We also went into his jewels collection, which was very interesting since no one knew of it (we were the only people in the museum, even though hundreds were in the art section). However, we had paid for it as part of our ticket, and we figured why not. Well, we both agreed he was strange when one of his pieces was a pulsating heart penant. When I ever decide to start wearing broaches that move, remind me of Dali and how strange I thought it.
