XIX Medio maratón de Málaga 29th March 2009

[Sweder]

Nice race Antonio. I'm looking forward to Almeria 2010 when it seems there will be a triumph of RC Personal Bests. I would love to be there to see that

Shayne and I visited the incredible Dali museum in Figueres last year, a dazzling collection of fantastical works offering a glimpse into the tumultuous mind of a wild and crazy genius. I had no idea of the sheer scope of his work. We also went to the Casa-Museu Castell Gala-Dali in Púbol, between Figuere and Barcelona. Here amongst the medieval stone walls of the village the Great Man housed and doted on Gala, his beloved Muse. The small, well-kept gardens are stalked by nightmare sculptures of stilt-legged pachyderms, the tranquil ornamental pond adorned with 12 carved busts of Wagner, Dali's favourite composer.

Without doubt one of the most remarkable places I've ever spent time in. I felt sure I caught a flicker of a moustachio'd spirit flitting across the gravel courtyard. He was grinning like a loon, eyes wide with creative lust, dashing off to bring yet another impossible vision into the world.
