Daily Drena: Out and About
It’s been a wonderfully relaxing week, catching up on to-do items and just enjoying the countryside. Today we ventured down to Figueres for a full day of exploring. On our way to find an open-air vegetable market, we found an open-air general market, full of all kinds of goodies and weird foods. The cheese I tried was amazing, but I also tried some sort of sausage meat thing that I had to spit down the street drain. It was really weird, fatty, raw-ish, and who knows what else. Ick. It took a while to get that taste out of my mouth.
Next on our agenda was a toy museum, full of unique and antique toys, including some interactive ones that brought out the competitiveness in both of us. Then on to the famous Dali museum, including Drew this time. Its black, curvy walls and little dark room offshoots, tight hallways, and tons of people made for a complete contrast from the pristine white Picasso museum in Malaga. Besides the people difference, it’s almost as if they worked to make their museums as opposite as possible, but both wonderful experiences in their own rights.
It started to rain right as we got back to our car, so next was off to the grocery store and booked it back home before the stream flowed too high for Blacky 2. (We were fine – the sun came back out.)
