What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

The most interesting place I visited this week was Pfaueninsel (Peacock Island). I went on a really nice, sunny day, and I got to really appreciate Berlin's fall. I got to see lots of beautiful animals and spent the entire day in nature. Pfaueninsel (Peacock Island) used to belong to the royal family of Prussia; it was used and designed as a summer palace. Today, the island is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
