Bon dia! This week has felt like a month with all of the activities we have done! I'm going to try my best to set up the pictures in the order of the week.

The View from the top

Able to see the growth of the city from the sea out towards the mountains and all the main buildings!

Aww

This is my neighborhood! :)

Roomates at the top!

Amy and Jacquelyn at the top! Uno Dos Tres QUESO!

View into the gardens

Surrounding the Palacio, there are beautiful gardens. It was a little dark but I will get more in the spring when the flowers bloom.

Part of the Garden

Olympic Torch!!

1992 Olympic Stadium torch on the side.

Stadium

Occasionally they still hold big concerts here!

Mi Madre

This is Nuria with a catalan dish of sausage, which we ate with another entire plate of spinach and beans!

Figueres

The Dali Museum! He had a thing for eggs :)

Cortyard

When this was a theatre, this area was where the audience would sit, along the walls and in every direction you can see all kinds of work done by him.

Gala's Boat

Behind the car in the courtyard is this boat, representing the boat of his wife, Gala

Gala-Lincoln

Without looking through a lens or at first glance, in person the only figure you can see is his wife Gala. When looking in a camera the face of Lincoln is apparent

Close up

It looks pix-elated but each section is another smaller painting, one is lincoln himself to make the body of a woman.

Proof!

I was here! WOW!

Side View of the Woman

when entering the room all you can see is the lips sofa, a light up nose and two landscapes of Paris (the left side one has the Eiffel Tower)

Front View

After walking up a staircase, you look through a magnified window to see the complete face of a woman and that is all real hair! (weird.)

Stained Glass

Jack of all trades!

Part of the Ceiling

Please take the time to Google the ceiling and see how detailed it is! This is just one small part.

Melting Clocks

One of his most well known works!

Sideways, woops!

Each window in the Courtyard has a Mannequin in it....yikes!

Floor 3

Each floor was a different period, this was a much darker period with a focus on the Nazis and Jews.
