Bonjour! Off to France!
For our final city tour we traveled north to Perpignon, France. Over the course of history this city has been part of Spain and part of France. Our local guide explained the complicated history of this city. We were all enthralled with the beauty and the pleasant, cool air. We visited religious and government buildings and learned of Perpignon's rise to power through its development of the fabric and cloth industry.
We had free time for lunch before heading to Figueres, Spain, the home of the Salvador Dali museum.
Dali was an eccentric artist who's body of work generated a lot of discussion among the students. Dali is best known for cubism and surrealism.
We had dinner back in Costa Brava at the hotel and students wandered the local boardwalk with its many vendors and family activities.
What an awesome post! Have passed it on to my sister who is heading there. I hope she will enjoy there.
