good evening all,

it is thundering and lightening. I am hoping that this is the end of the rainy spell because i would like further opportunity to become a crisp golden brown before my skin is shocked by the mediterranean.

today was a long day, as tuesdays will be from now on. we went on an excusion to kutna hora, which is about an hour and a half outside of prague. we took a very homely bus with a very nice but very crazy czech driver. kutna hora is basically a touristy village, known for the fact that it has more cathedrals than prague. This is one of them. (I'm trying a new photo format, in case anyone was curious).

We had quite a while to wander around and then we went to an italian place for lunch. I tell you, i've eaten more italian here than even at home.
From the left, that's melody, vicki, me (obviously, looking fabulously fresh), melissa and stacie. After this wonderful little jaunt, we headed to a nearby charnal house, of which the inside was decorated with the bones of 14, 000 people. With some you could see the inside of the bone. FULL OF HOLES. Freaked me right out.

all in all it was kind of a creepy day. However, there was a nice moment on the way home. It randomly started to downpour so we all ran to the bus. Most people fell asleep on the way home but i was awake for most of it. Finally i was hit with a feeling of family, or at least community, if only for that one little moment of gossip-free-sleep-induced-innocence. with the mist coming of the open fields, well...it was nice.

that's all, and in the meanwhile "watch out for the tourists, they are the theives of the atmosphere"
