Kutna Hora

Ok, so I forgot to mention what we did last night. We went to this club called Lucerna which was having it's 80's/ 90's video music night. So it was this large underground club which played 80's and 90's music videos on giant screens and everyone danced to it! It was really fun and the music videos made it even more fun. It was just a really friendly atmosphere with a bunch of random people young and old dancing.

We danced to the likes of, Mama Mia, Video Killed the Radio Star, Greese Lightning, and a whole bunch of other stuff. hahaha it was great.

Ok, so now it's April 4th. . . yes I realize that it really is the 16th but I'm desperately trying to catch up!

So on this day, the 4th. We took a day trip to Kutna Hora which is a smaller midevil town which is known for it's Gothic Cathedral, Santa Barbara, and it's Midevil town plan.

So we got picked up in a tour van by our driver named Petra. He drank coffee from a steel thermos and smoked 3 cigarettes before we left our hotel. He was a nice man and was very happy that Obama was in town and speaking the next day. He also loved to talk to you 6 inches from you, spitting his coffee and spewing his smokey breath into your face. Lovely fellow, no joke.

Anyway, apparently as I learned today (the 16th) from our visit to a local architect office, Czechs love their countryside. Prague people actually have country houses which they run to every weekend because they dislike the city so much. Interesting stuff. So because of this... there was tremendous traffic on the 2 lane highway that we had to take. Petra couldn't take it and took us on an adventure through the countryside weaving through small towns and passing by expansive fields of nothing. The nothingness somehow was always broken up by some random giant communist housing project. It was kind of erie seeing massive structures pop out of no where in the middle of vast fields.

anyway, major tangent. We eventually got to Kutna Hora and sketched a perspective of the Santa Barbara Church. It was nice, we spent a while on it, but it was not so nice when Italian tourists would come and bother us saying BELISIMO and getting in our faces while we were trying to sketch. Some of the younger boys actually swarmed some of our girls to take pictures of their boobs while they were sketching... hahahaha so immature.

Anyway, Kutna Hora was alright, I'm not really into the gothic stuff. Or maybe I was just annoyed with our sketching assignment for the day.

At the end of our day we took a detour and found this small church which we have dubbed the bone church because I don't know the name for it. But anyway, the insides of the memorial is entirely decorated with the bones of humans. . . It was actually not scary at all. It was really magnificent work and I thought it was really cool.





We didn't do anything that night because the next day was OBAMA DAY!
