I'm sure that your mother wants to see more than just windmills, although of course you should take her to see some of them.

I've heard that Paris is a nice place to see, and it has at least two windmills as well -- the Moulin Rouge and the Moulin de la Galette. in Montmartre.

Being a European, I find this funny to read.

Whathello-Thanks for all of that information. It looks like I have a lot of research to do!

hetismij2- Yes, I am definitely looking for more of the traditional, non-castilla-de-la-mancha-type windmills : P Thank you!

Thank you Bilboburgler for your tips.
She will be here the 2nd and 3rd week of march. (I wanted to take here to some places to see semana santa here in Spain, but coming from the deep country she's not one for crowds.

Thank you, neckervd

tonfromleiden thank you for the short, direct, and really informative tips- I feel like that is a very solid place to start from and I think that that is what we will be doing : )
