As mentioned previously we visted the Sedlec Ossuary, Bone Church inKutna Hora. It contains about 40,ooo or more human skeletons arranged to form things such as chandeliers, a coat of arms amd skull pyramids. Not exactly the first thing you think about asthetically when you entertain ideas of a chapel. It was creepy but cool! The one thing we found very strange was that people threw coins at the skeletons and did signs of the cross. I was intrigued and I tried to retrieve a coin and touch a skull (what are dead people going to do with them?!?!?) and I kind of set off an alarm....hahahahha...it was quite comedic. I hastily withdrew my arm. I felt kind of bad, the skulls may have awoken and devoured my soul if I had done that so it was likely for the best! Come for us when we were sleeping in the haunted Hostel.... but we managed to make it out of Kutna Hora alive!!! Souls intact....more adventures in Cesky Krulov today!
This blog has been intended as a travel blog of sorts, although the trip it was originally intended for has come and gone...but there are more in the works! Officially, Summer 2010 we are planning to road trip across Canada with our pup Jinjer and whoever would like to join us :) We are also planning to head north to Alaska/ Yukon and the south down the West coast.
In the meantime, Jack and I will entertain with tidbits of information, interesting facts and random pictures we find amusing. We decided to use an alias just because it seems safer that way because anyone can read your personal information on the web!!! So enjoy our political meanderings (both our passions), and we look forward to somebody, anybody reading our blog...mom....are you out there? Yes my mom reads the blog :S
Anyways, keep following, there will always be more to come as we procrastinate at the library and updates will be ever so often when we find interesting things in our travels through life!
Love, Delilah
This is one of the most creepiest things i have ever saw...I wonder what the reason for all the skullls are???
