So, our 5th and final stop, before arriving back home in Alcala, was the famous Windmills of La Mancha.
These were the windmills which inspired Cervantes to write the climax of Don Quijote. These also inspired me to search out and begin to read the book in Spanish. (Something that wasn’t realized until our next week long trip to the university where Cervantes studied.) Anyways we stopped to take a bunch of pictures and it was a lot of fun.
It was a pretty quick stop but long enough to get in a jumping picture.
The top of the hill had an amazing view of the nearby city.
I really like this picture that Amy took of us.
Here is my awesome hat that I purchased that morning in Granada.
We then got the coolest picture of the 4 men of Madrid.
With the sun low in the West and our bus pulling away we all decided to take one last picture from one of the greatest weeks of my life.
We boarded the bus and were back in Alcala before we knew it. It was a lot of fun. Seriously, it was one of the greatest weeks ever. It was one of those defining moments on the trip where 90 % of what has happened since has been a direct result of what happened on that trip. At least in my life. Sorry that it took so long to “publish”.
