Kutna Hora was awesome. I don't have too much time to write, but it was a beautiful, beautiful city. In the 1300s, it was a town of about 50,000 inhabitants or something like that and produced much of Europe's silver. Today about 25,000 people live there. Here are pictures!

then we went down INTO THE MINES! i never thought i was claustrophobic, but it definitely got a little tight in there... it was so fun though! this is me and my roommates being silly in our ridiculous outfits. 

grossss
tight squeeze!

me with kutna hora in the distance

then we went to a creepy, creepy ossuary. the church has over 40,000 bones in it! really really ridiculous they're just piled up everywhere. 

family crest, made out of bones.
