Last but not least.....The Wind Mills

After walking around a little Saturday morning in Granada, we headed home, but not without a stop to see the windmills "Las Molinas”of Consuegra, of Don Quixote fame.

On the way up Professor Shumway read us the passage in Don Quixote where he attempts to joust the windmills against the realistic advisement of Sancho Panza, ending up with his sword demolished to pieces.

We climbed inside one of the windmills....


So the hill that the windmills are on is....windy! We could barely keep our scarves on for this picture:









And as for the juxtaposition- At the top, I noticed some modern day windmills across the valley. Renewable energy in action!

But alas, we were excited to get home- what an exhilaratingly exhausting week!
