SO for day 5, we "planned" to go to the bone church, which is a day trip outside prague. We got all ready, then decided to pass out. A few hours later, we met an Aussie fellow, Brenton, who got us to get up and attempt to go somewhere. We walked around to another church, but this one supposedly has a good hot dog stand, so I reluctantly agreed. We made it over, but there was no hot dog stand (we had been warned that the guy runs out and then leaves for the day), so we just walked back to the same restaurant we keep eating at (3rd time) for more czech food. We rounded out the exciting night with some scrabble and the game of life.
Day 6, we actually committed to going to the bone church. Brenton tagged along, and we walked to the bus station, and managed to get a bus to Kutna Hora, and its bone church. After an hour on the bus, we made it, and the church was pretty metal (blacker than the blackest black). It was full of bones, and they were arranged into chandeliers, crests, candle sticks, and more. It was pretty cool. After snapping some inappropriate pictures with the bones, we headed to the cathedral in town, which was not as impressive as the city cathedrals, but it was a little czech town, and it was better than anything you'd find in the states. So we headed back to prague, caught some good italian food, and headed back for socializing and blogging!

I found a website with the bone church pictures.
Eww.... It's so creepy.
The coat of arms looked way intricate. The website I was on pointed out that the chandelier is composed of every bone in the human body (the guy wasn't sure about the ones in our ears). It took several bodies to make it. Wow.... it really is "metal." I bet Dethklock would love it. hahahaha.
How many people have you made friends with along the way? Brenton sounds like a nice guy. I'm glad he got you lazy bones to go out and explore.
I love you!!
Good one, Cassie....getting the lazy bones in gear! So, ditto... Stephen, who is Brenton? It doesn't sound as tho you are too impressed with Prague...whooom, Scrabble now, singing on stage when Mark was on board. What's missing in this equation? I think things needs to aliven up...too bad your mama isn't there!
The bones church sounds neat. Cassie, glad to hear you are doing some research. I'd love to see the site you went to. I look forward to the next blog. Hopefully you will be getting your lazy bones engaged and doing something exciting. Hugs, Mom
Its, funny, we were asking the same thing about the chandelier, questioning the use of the ear bones!
