Yesterday we had the pleasure of taking a day trip to Girona and Figueres. While in Figueres we visited the Dali Theatre Museum. Not only is his work amazing, but he creates art pieces that can be viewed in many different perspectives. The research done prior to the trip prepared us and gave us things to expect, but it was way beyond our expectations! We had an awesome tour guide who provided us with unbelievable amounts of information all day and really seemed intrigued by Salvador Dalí.

Overall it was an amazing day trip and even though we're exhausted we just keep going and explore everything we can! The museum was worth the long bus rides and we left with some amazing photos and memories we'll hold for a lifetime!
