First and foremost these boats are Tourist Attractions but they were once the only way to get around the. They have flat bottoms because the canals arent all that deep each property has its own moring.

But 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.

Any calls about and i know and dont worry i speak german as well which additionally welcome visitors with bread and salt so welcome. Thank you. Stepping into these replicas of original 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 and one single bed then they thought they had me wondering what your life would have been like if you married into a family and later youd be sharing a bed with your inlaws and your kids should be having he 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. Get trying to get into this museum which additional live and all costumes consisting of a blue apron and underneath where a sky started up one to hawk a how you can see mine is. A woman wearing this color signals that shes married as a married woman you always wear muted colors whether that be blue green or purple we thought young girls tend to wear bright shades of right my not yet also wear a kind of blouse but without passions and this piece of cloth keeps it all together for the. Museum and very interactive this is how laundry was done a 100 years ago. Which is going to really push it hard against the board i can im getting a good workout here i will. Point. I dont think. Thats who now is if this up so the wind and sunshine can draw everything. Came a great day for. The head of the Museum Stefan heinz tells me a bit more about tradition and culture in this place but. No my boy. That was willing to talk about the source why did they decide to settle in this play but i did it because well because you dont give me the actual sorbs 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 you can sink this spray by its sort of some kind of made a bad choice by coming here with all the canals and many mosquitoes here but water played an Important Role and 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 storms have been persecuted their language for baden can you tell us a bit about the history. But 1st the sorbs were christianized and they were treated like a minority for hundreds of years and they were more or less suppressed 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 and possible that was their key to success and its have given the un possible at this. Point and with heat well weve got some who is it difficult to keep stormy and traditions alive. I have them and they sort of if you look at the customs the celebrations of the traditional costumes those are really popular in the villages as you can see here immediately museum. So its a very different story with us or blank which its a complicated language thats tricky to learn it takes after their language initiatives and even a high school in columbus were pupils going to learn the sort of 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 so properly 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 some strolls are best taken in good company were joined by the lovely vietnam body else that i mean you know shes a local and loves the Cultural Diversity of her town.

If you are you ok here you go i showed you how to do it its a bit muddy but youll manage. But im so busy trying to punt that i dont even get to see where were going.
