Because of the silly king we weren't able to go to the Dali museum! However, we tooled around Girona alittle bit. Girona's interesting to compare to other cities that have rivers running through them because it was such an industrial city so the river was used for only commercial use and contained no aesthetic factor for the people. One result of this is that the city actually turns its back on the river and faces towards the street. It's odd to see the rows and rows of houses facing towards the streeet. After we wandered Girona we went to an office meeting in the small neighboring town. We saw two of the design's by the architects we were visiting be for we actually went to meet them. First we went to a very amazing restaurant that they converted from an old barn. We were very lucky to be able to go in it. A couple of people illegally snuck in and checked out a completely glass hotel that was nearby that the same firm designed. I didn't get to see it before they got caught :(
After that we went to a landscaping design that they did for a nearby park. Not as awesome but it was a smaller scale project.
