Figueres and Girona - The Fruchter's day 2

A beautiful sky greeted us as we headed up from Barcelona to see the Dali Theater-Museum. What a great musuem! For as many times as I have been there, I always find something new and hope that I understand Dali's creative genius a bit more (this from a guy with artistic difficulties drawing a stick figure). Aside from the Mae West Room pictured above, we spent a lot of time enjoying the palacio del viento and the jewels. We spent the whole morning at the museum (and you always feel like you could have seen more), and then stopped for a quick bite at a tapas bar before heading off to Girona.

A slight incident of me walking headlong into a highly-cleaned glass door aside, we made it out of the restaurant and off to Girona. The weather held out and we enjoyed the last hours of sunlight as we walked through the ancient streets of one of Spain's truly beautiful cities. Three people dared to attempt the daunting front steps (conflicting reports as to whether there are 90 or 91 steps) to the Cathedral, while Holly and I took the longer, but less challenging road up to the side entrance. A visit to the museum treasury to see the 11th century tapestry, and a quick stroll along the old towers followed, and we ended the day with a quick visit to the Jewish Heritage Museum (thank you for letting us slip in last minute!).

A great day with lots of history, culture and some pets del bisbe!
