Fun Facts about Windmills 1) Windmills used to be so prevalent in the Dutch landscape, and more than 10,000 were used for industrial purposes. Later, they gradually disappeared as other sources were preferred, such as steam, then eventually diesel, and electricity. 2) Did you know that the Dutch love the windmills so much, they dedicated a day in mid-May to celebrate it? They have a National Windmill Day. It's a time of the year when they decorate the windmills with flowers, ...figures of angels, or Dutch flags. 3) Windmills have many functions. They are true all-rounders. Many people believe windmills were only used to make flour out of grain.

There are about 190 dolmens in Ireland, and they are our most recognizable type of megalithic monument. Dolmens are known by many different names: cromlechs, Giants Graves, Diarmuid and Grainne's Beds, and stone tables. Dolmens generally have an entrance feature, the 'portal,' although a blocking stone often closes this. The most characteristic feature is a massive roof stone, weighing tons and inclined at an angle with the highest part over the entrance. Portal dolmens are k...nown as Irish mythological stories and folklore. Most dolmens are covered with mounds of stone, but little remains of these cairns at most sites. The impressive structures we see today are like the skeletons of the monuments.

The best selection of fresh tropical fruits is in the Dominican Republic. The fruit is ripened on the tree under the tropical sun and then picked and sold almost instantly. The first bite of fruit is undoubtedly a sweet treat as it is bursting with flavor. You can pick your fruit, but they are available at every fruit stand in Punta Cana. It's hard to miss them on the side of the road. I'd love to help you plan your trip, so call or email me when you’re ready to go. #dominicanrepublic #visitdominicanrepublic #santodomingo #visitsantodomingo #traveldominicanrepublic #travelsantodomingo #caribbean #vacationplanning #traveldestination #dominicanfruits #freshfruits #tropicalfruits #puntacanafruits
