Spreewald

On our way from Cottbus back to Berlin, we decided to stop and see a couple sites. One of them was my favorite of the trip: the Spreewald. It is a Unesco biosphere reserve site and is a series of slow flowing rivers. The only way to reach most of the area is by boat. The residents get their mail by boat and the residents are of Sorb descent. The Sorbs are of Slavic descent and are a small minority living in the area.

We rented a canoe and paddled around the area for a couple hours. It was a warm, sunny day and the perfect way to spend it. I used John's camera to take the pictures because if it got wet/wrecked it wouldn't be as expensive to replace as mine. :)
