The two photos George has chosen have a Mediterranean theme. The first is the delightful Italianate Garden at Godinton House. The second is a street in the old town of Cadeques on the Costa Brava. Salvador Dali often visited Cadaqués in his childhood and later kept a home in Port Lligat, a small village on a bay next to the town. The Dali Museum/Foundation is about 15 miles inland at Figueres.
