Saturday, we ate breakfast, rode the bus for a couple of hours and arrived at The Ossuary of Kunta Hora. This place was a little creepy. Its a church where people have donated their bones to be collected and shown in this church. There is a cemetery outside that is lively and full of flowers and banners, but the inside of the church was just a little creepy. There are over 60,000 peoples remained crafted into chandeliers, decorative fixtures all around the church. There is basically a bunch of skulls starring at you. You'll def love the pictures. After that we had another bus ride to Prague and took a mini tour with our prof. Had a great dinner, and got back on the bus to head home. We just basically dropped off some of the older travelers so they could actually stay in Prague.
Sunday.. boy what an early day. Wake at 5am, walk down to the bus station and load at 6am. Arrive at Prague at 9, meet our guide for our 6 hour walking tour of Prague. This is a really cultured place with alot of history and "legends". There are soo many buildings and they are jam packed in this town. But there were some pretty cool sites. I spent pretty much all day, just looking into the many stores and just took in the culture of this touristic town. I attended the Black Light Theature show at 8pm. It was a pitch black dark room and they had black lights on and all these charactures floating through the air. It told the story of a space craft meeting aliens. I though it was hilarious and very cool. Bad part though is there was only like 5 of us going, so we had to take the train home. We got completely lost in Prague trying to find the train station(while its rainging and freezing) and didnt know what to do when we got there because our Czech stunk and Czech's people's English stunk. They think we're stupid Americans. lol . All in all we got home at about 3am our time. I'm not a happy camper! Now I'm up at 8ish, about to go grab some breakfast, then load another bus to Prague to enjoy the city. wish me luck..

helping hands at church
Well look at the bright side....at least the parishioners of the church were able to give a helping hand up until their very last day. Even now they still are the ones who hold the church together (get it :D)! And as far as the dark theatre goes.... thank God you weren't drinking (or were you)cuz it would have been a trippy thing to see. Far out,man!
Jennifer says to take a lot of pictures just in case your memory starts slipping like hers! ;) haha
