Prague day 2

Day two we were on a mission to get to a small town about an outside of Prague called Kutna Hora. Kutna Hora houses a small osstuary where in the late 1700s a half blind monk built a Bonechurch. Apparently this church had been a favorite burial site of a wealthy Czech family and eventually more and more fo the lcoals wanted to be burried there. In the 1500s part of the land of the already overfiled cemetary was sieyed and the bones piled up around the outside of the church. In the 1700s a half-blind monk began takign the bones and building them intothe church. Today you can toru that church and it is awesome ina really creepy way. There's a chandellier that is made of at least one of every bone in the human body, a family crest made entirely of bone, and 4 large pyramids that you could see skulls lying all throughout. Pretty crazy.

That night was kind fo subdued (for reasons I'll get into in a moment), but we found a chill jazz bar with cute bartenders and it was all good.

Hi Keith!

I have enjoyed reading your blog entries daily. It sounds as though you are having an amazing trip. There are a few entries I want to comment on, but the comments I was thinking about leaving are too racy. Ha! Also, I wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at the loss of your grammy.
