The Skeleton Church in Kutna Hora

Kutna Hora isn't your typical spot to go to while traveling through Europe. And it was because of Contiki that I actually went here, and was pretty happy I did too!

Kutna Hora isn't far from Prague, on the way to Vienna (by bus). And what it's known for is the Sedlec Ossuary, the skeleton church.

What is a skeleton church you might ask? It pretty much explains itself... It's a church filled with skeletons!! What happened here, in Kutna Hora, was back in the early 16th century the grave yard was overfilled and more room was needed. So it was ordered to dig up old graves (creepy!) and with the remaining skeletons they were placed in the church.

Some people were a little creeped out by all of the skeletons, I sort of thought it was cool. Klutzy me, I set off the alarm because I got too close to take a picture (The first picture above, oopse!)

The Food Festival in Prague!

When we got to Prague, we had a little time before dinner, but sure enough we were starving. Our guide showed us to the center of the town where the astronomical clock was about to strike the hour and we watched the show.

After we set off for a little snack before dinner, which we were in

luck that there was a food festival in the town square of Prague the week we were there! There were all sort of different stands that had cheese, candy, chocolate, different pastries, and other yummy delicious treats!

First we got this potato with sauerkraut snack that was much sweeter and filled with spices than we had expected! Then we got this pastry that was wrapped with cinnamon and was so delicious! I also sampled a few cheese throughout my time in Prague, I often came back here to get a few snacks here and there.

If only every where could have a food festival like this!

Pictures from Top to Bottom: 1. The Yummy pastries being baked! 2. This guy at one of the meat stands had a pretty good sense of humor, I hope you can see the knife! 3. LOTS OF CHEESE! When we took this picture, my friend Ellen said "Say Cheese!" 4. The Potatoes cooking in a ginormous wok! 5. Ellen, myself, and Chantel enjoying a pastry!

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words...

..But I'll leave a few words for each one.

A Statue that I liked by the Waterfront District in Zurich, Switzerland and my roommate,

Carol, and I at the top of the Cathedral Dome, with a cute little heart in the grass!

The Chapel at the Prague Castle and the view of Budapest's Parliment from the Fisherman's Bastion, one of my favorite views!
