Then its on to the dock this is when the departure spot for the regions typical boats for more than 150 years of course taking a ride is at the very top of my list but 1st a pit stop at whats called the pickle mile its to go to destination for the ship live on its most famous product.

Now im hopping on the next post. 1st and foremost these boats are Tourist Attractions but they were once the only way to get around the ship they have flat bottoms because the canals arent all that deep each property has its own moorings. Legend has it that the devil dug all the channels with the help of his oxen of course thats not how they came into being they were formed by the retreating ice sheet at the end of the last ice age. Such friendly people. To this day the people in this believe had received their mail by boat. Whether intrinsics for this be allowed on one of these excursion boats or on your own and canoe there is no better way of getting to know the only 2 in that small canal than on the water of course and while i continue to enjoy doing just that youve got a couple more points for as to the split up.

And the tropical islands theme park located in a form a hangar boasting the Worlds Largest freestanding still done for that matter is another regional tourist magnet. Its perfect for rainy days.

Elate is open air museum theres a lot to learn about this play about history and the ethnic minority the source. Greeted in store again. Any color the kind i know and dont worry i speak german as well we traditionally welcome visitors with bread and salt so welcome and. Actually think you. Are stepping into these replicas of original live out houses one can easily imagine what life must have been like in the 19th century 150 years ago family life took place in one single room and in one single bed then they thought they had no notion what your life would have been like if you married into a family and later youd be sharing a bed with you in laws and your kids should he have any would sleep in your bed too along with your husband of course you know. That. One of the houses is dedicated to store b. In culture and traditional stormin costumes. At this museum which additionally banal costumes consisting of a blue apron and underneath were a sky started out one dot in the ocean to hawk a how you can see money is pearl and a woman wearing this color signals that shes married as a married woman you always win muted colors whether that be blue green or purple what he thought was young girls tend to wear bright shades of right when not yet also wear a kind of blouse but without buttons and this piece of. Keeps it all together. The museum is very interactive this is how laundry was done a 100 years ago. Really push it hard against the board i think im getting a good workout here i know. Elaine but i wish. I dont think. Its a lot of school now if this ups of the wind and sunshine can draw everything. They were great thats it for a day or to. The head of the Museum Stefan heinz tells me a bit more about tradition and culture in this play but with the mix normal boy. Well lets talk about the source why did they decide to settle in this play about because well because you could be the actual sword settlement region is much larger and get reaches all the way to dissolve the river and up to berlin and down to the saxon or a month and a fish believe it as you could think this spray broadsword actually might have made a bad choice by coming here with all the canals and many mosquitoes here but water played an Important Role its essential for catching fish and there are plenty of forests in the area and the swamps help keep invaders out. So i think the overall conditions for settling right here in the middle of the spray about werent actually that bad after all. As he didnt. Need to get us out when he went over the century have been persecuted their language for baden can you tell us a bit about the history. Versus the sorbs were christianized they were treated like a minority for hundreds of years when they were more or less oppressed across the ages looked they never govern themselves there was never a sore bridge again. But against all odds the sorbs managed to preserve their culture especially by adapting on postle that was their key to success and thats have given the un possible at this. Point and with the heat now with us and who is it difficult to keep me and traditions alive. I have them and they sort of popped one cool if you look at the customs the celebrations other traditional costumes often those are really popular in the villages as you can see here in the museum. So its a very different story with this old language and its a complicated language thats tricky to learn it takes effort to say their language initiatives and even a high school in columbus were pupils going to learn the sword language there is a sort of media to newspapers t. V. Radio and so i think people are quite worried about how to keep their complicated language alive and make it appealing enough so others want to learn it. Unfortunately i dont have more time to explore the open air museum i have another boat to catch. Will stay by the water but far far away from here in texas well start our stroll through the lone star states oldest city on the banks of the San Antonio River and since trolls are best taken in good company were joined by the lovely vietnam laos and i mean you know shes a local and loves the Cultural Diversity of her town.
