And so we are on to part III of my awesome Barcelona trip. In part one I talked about the U2 concert which was awesome and part two explains our tour of the city of Barcelona.. so on to this part and the tale of Girona and Figueres.

Girona is a beautiful city north of Barcelona which is really enchanting.  It is a small town but full of history.. We took a tour bus from Barcelona and in a couple of hours we were there. We had a guided walking tour of the city and its sites. the Cathedral, Arab baths, the Wall, Jewish town… I feel in love with this city and would love to go back.. It was extremely hot and had to do a lot of walking must uphill.. but it was worth every minute and every site..

.

From there we jumped on the bus and headed to Figueres Dali’s home town.  Another very quaint town that offers the wonderful Dali museum with its very strange architecture and very interesting sites…. One of my favorite was the exhibition of Dali’s jewlelry.. awesome..

On the way back to Barcelona just leaving Figueres a motorcycle that decided to pass us hit head on an incoming car and we witnessed everything.. A young man and a woman were splattered on the cement while we watched how the paramedics tried to save their lives….We watched in horror as they finally placed a white sheet over the girl..It was very sad and made us realize how fragile life is..

The bus finally was allowed to continue but 10 kilometers from Barcelona we got a flat tire!! (we think it might have been from the debree left over from the motorcycle accident). We had to wait over an hour for another bus to come and pick us up..Overall, it was a very interesting experience..
