Bones, Bones, Bones

Literally.

On Saturday we took a trip to Kunta Hora, a town about an hour outside of Prague. It is perhaps best known for the Sedlec Ossuary--a church covered in bones. Scholars estimate that the skeletons of more than 40,000 people were used to "decorate" the church.

So that was...an interesting experience! It was oddly quite beautiful, probably once you were able to disassociate the fact that what you were starting at was made of pelvic bones and ribs.

It was cool to get out of the city and explore the Czech countryside as well. It was gorgeous.

We had an hour break for lunch, and we had an AMAZING Italian meal. After that we got to explore (read: relax) in the village center.

Caroline enjoys her first Czech Beer with the Swarthmore Boys.

Almost everyone in the program went out together on Saturday morning. We ventured onto the tram to explore some other areas of Prague.

Sunday we slept in, and then Pabst and I went on a nice run along the river. We spent the rest of the afternoon reading in Globe Cafe. The coffee was AMAZING, and what's more, they serve tap water WITH ice. Yumms.

I have my first quiz in about 30 minutes, so I should go, but I promise to add more later.

Love,

P.S. I've started watching "Mad Men" before bed...OBSESSED.
