Did you say chicken pizza or Czechen pizza.......

I love spending time with people who's first language isn't english and getting to explain slang, and correct ways to say things. One of the highlights of the trip so far was when Eva really wanted to try Czech Pizza and kept saying 'lets get some czechen pizza' which sounds alot like chicken, so when we got to a pizzaria, we were very confused when she didn't order chicken on hers........ lol. Or explaining that fish is singular and plural and not fishes.

Yesterday, we went to a village called Kunta Hora. It was very nice and peaceful there, and everything that one would think that foriegn countryside would be. Also, there is the Sedlec Oddisary, which is a small chapel for the dead. How it all shook down is that there was some dirt brought there by a priest from Isrial that was blessed and so every one in the area wanted to be buired there. Right around that time the black plague struck the area, so there was an over flow of bodies to this one small graveyard, so they just started stacking bodies in the basement of the chapel and eventually there was an impressive stack of bones. So I guess a monk thought what the hell, we will decorate this place with these poor saps their bones are all just down here. It is believed that there are the remains of 40,000 people down there.

It was really creepy walking on to the property, because once you crossed the gate you felt the air get noticably cooler, and there are headstones all around the place (very large and beautiful ones at that). Then you go downstairs of this place and there are four pyrimids of bones on the corners of the rooms that are about 10 to 12 feet high, just incredible. And there are bones all along the walls and light fixtures.

After we left there, we went to the Virgin of Mary baroque style chuch and holy shit...... that place was huge. It actually seemed quite out of place for the surrounding area. The inside was beautiful with an amazing mural painted up on the celling. Breath taking really is the only words I can use to describe it.

Well Jas and Eva left this morning so now it is back on my own again!! And I have decieded to stay in Prague another 2 days, then I think I am going to head to Vienna, Austria then Bratislava, Slovakia. But it is hard to leave when beer is only an american dollar (about 20 Kc), for a half liter of some of the best beer i have ever set my lips on. Anyways, it is time to go check in to my new hostel (I have now killed enough time at the internet cafe!!). So everyone give your mommy's a big huge for Mothers' Day since I can't! But I will catch you all later and I miss everyone.
