Casa Dali At Portlligat, 2

Continuing our tour of Portlligat...
Dali's mustache collection: the Kaiser, Stalin, and Phillip IV














Artist's knick-knacks


















Snail, a gift from Tiffany's; he did lots of jewelwry















In the one and only bedroom














In a room walled with magazine and
newspaper articles and photos with famous
people (ask and I'll send my pix of photos
with Ed Sullivan, Harpo Marx, Gregory Peck,
Sir Laurence Olivier, et. al.)






















Vicki in the Oval Room, Gala's retreat, decorated largely with
mementos of her Russian heritage















Another of the several gorgeous outdoor spaces














Happy Easter, y'all!














Another outdoor pavilion, in which were
playing Dali home movies



















Jesus of the Refuse Pile; everything is art (well, potentially)














The pool, a lap-pool with a diving well at one end and a
seating area at the other; being expressive is so much more
fun when you're rich (I conjecture)















Us, pool-side














After the tour, Vicki takes in the interpretive video














Last look at Portlligat; we thought we might continue on for
the hat trick with Pubol; but enough is enough, and it's
always well to leave something for next time; so we drove
on to Barcelona, picking up the N11 near Figueres and
continuing on to Camping Barcelona, near Mataro
