An incredible and inspiring love story. <br><br>I decided to take a little vacation from my vacation and work on my tan here in Cadaques. The sea, the sun and village wandering take up most of my time. I´m scheduled to leave here on Monday, but once I realized I could do whatever I wanted, life changed. Maybe that is my inspiration.

Dali lived in Portlligat and his house has since been turned into a museum, complete with big eggs on the roof (Dali was big on big eggs-they were all over the place at the Dali Museum). We drove up this tiny mountain road (which was interesting in a really big bus...) and as we were going over a hill, the ...
