Up at the crack of dawn, we packed up the car. It is always a complicated puzzle for Tim to get the bags in and still fit all of us too! We made our way to Figueres an hour and a half away. Driving into town started out the same as any Spanish town we saw, but as we rounded the corner Dali's museum became visible, and there is nothing ordinary about it. During 1960-1974, Dali took an old theatre and turned it into an art gallery; mostly of his own art, and ...

The kids went straight to the pools, and we met them after putting in a load of laundry. With the temperatures heating up the kids have no problem getting me in the pool and ocean. We hung our laundry, had lunch and started driving towards the town Púbol. This is where Salvador Dali remodeled a small medeival castle for his wife Gala. Gala was a mysterious woman that Dali was obsessed with. Later in their marriage she wanted her own home, and to be elusiv...

We made our way in and found a parking lot. We were not 100% sure how far from the Rumbla we were but knew we wer...

Gaudi knew he wouldn't live to see the church finished, in fact it won't be done for another 50 years. The outside of the church is unrefine...

Belia had a meeting planned for after breakfast. The night before she made plans for a sandcastle that she wanted to build with all of us. In the meeting she was very detailed about her plans, we were impressed! The beach wasn't crowded, we claimed some beach chairs with a sunshade. Belia was trying to get us on task immediately, which wasn't easy because the sun felt so good that it was making us lazy. With persistence she got everybody digging, except me ...
