Kutna Hora






My friend Sara, who happens to be a Canadian ice hoskey player (isn't that cool?!!), and I went on a road trip to Kutna Hora the other day. It was about a 2 hr drive. Its funny; I get car sick now when I am in cars. I guess it's bc I am not used to being in them. We don't have to pull over or anything, but I just have to face forward. ANYWAY. So, Kutna Hora is a historical and protected sight bc it is incredibly old (13th century old). The main attraction there is a church called Sedlec Ossuary. Inside are the remains of appx. 40, 000 people. The amazing thing, though, is that at one point in history, they ran out of burial plots and so they started piling all the bones inside this church. A monk decided to decorate the interior of the church with the bones. My interior designer friend, Holly, put it well when she said, "Now that's going green!"
