So, what did you do today?
I went to SPAIN!
Yep, after a day of lounging around on the beach, Olivier and I got up bright and early, left the cat in the apartment at La Grande Motte and hit the road to spend the day in Spain.
After a few hours on the highway, we reached the French/Spanish border.
We went to Figueres and our first priority was of course, to find food. We found a tiny place that served tiny, microwaved frozen burritos and other frozen crap. Oh, well… we ate it… and yes, I would pay for it later.
There is a Salvador Dali museum in Figueres and we headed back to the car so that we could make an attempt at finding it. On the way back to the parking garage, we happened upon a the biggest absinthe spoon ever.
However, there wasn’t a glass or bottle of the green stuff to go along with it.
We happened upon the museum on our way out of town, but instead of stopping, we just kept driving. Yeah, yeah… shut up. It’s our vacation and we’ll do what we want.
We drove along and saw some great scenery…
To make sure that we wouldn’t get lost, Olivier regularly consulted the map… just like a well-trained tourist. No, I’ve never seen him stop and ask for directions, but he regularly consults the map.
One thing that the map didn’t warn us about in regard to our planned route was the fact that some streets are so incredibly narrow that even in a tiny European car, you run the risk of getting stuck between two walls. It sucks to drive through, but the narrow streets of la Selva de Mar sure do look cool.
After we made our escape from the skinny streets, we stopped along the beach for an ice cream cone and to mock other tourists.
Once we arrived back in France, it was back to stuffing ourselves with fast food and lounging around on our asses.
