Yesterday (Friday, March 18) we went on a train to the little Spanish town of Figueres that we were going to explore for the day. It took about two hours to get there since we went by train. The train ride was enjoyable, as it had been a while since we went on our last train. We played a few games, and I had brought my stuffed animals so we did stuff with them, too.We got off the train to and walked to a outside place to eat lunch (Dad said we'll be seeing more of those once it gets warmer). After lunch, we went to the Salvador Dali Museum. There were many beautiful surreal pictures and statues, but some were inappropriate. Oh, well. We tried to skip those. My favorite was a picture of a tiger that was made up of several squares and three heads (We didn't get a picture of that because flash wasn't allowed, so we didn't take any pictures of the paintings). Here is an example of some appropriate surreal statues:
As you can see, these are not the normal statues. Surrealism means to change, make things different, and that's exactly what Dali did with his paintings and statues.
