Civrac-en-Medoc
Yesterday I first learned that the Medoc was windmill country when we
stopped by the house of Dad’s friends, and they had this wonderful windmill ruin
in their yard. They also showed me a book of all the historic windmills in the
area—of which theirs is one. I next discovered (or re-learned) this fact again
today when I set out on my first bike ride in the area: there was wind aplenty as I rode
across the flat landscape—which helped me to learn this windmill fact in a much
more physical way. I shall not forget it!
