Well it’s been a busy last few days; I finally have a day off! It's nice to
just relax and take a break...catch up on sleep and sober up....I'll fill you
in about the weekend--
Friday we went on a trip to Kutna Hora, it’s a fairly small town about an
hour away from Prague. It was a cool little town with some even cooler sights.
We first went down into what used to be silver mine. We donned out white coats
and hard hats, grabbed a huge flashlight thing and climbed down a billion
stairs. About 20 of us went in a group with a wicked hot tour guide haha. It
was pretty funny down in the mine, the tunnels are about 5ft high sometimes
shorter, and reallllly narrow. I bashed my head on the roof no joke easily 20
times..Thank god I had that hardhat on. The best part was watching some of the
"larger" members of our group try to fit through these
tunnels...priceless. We then went to another Cathedral-we do that a lot...then
off to the bone church. It was a decent sized church...with 30,000 thousand people’s
bones in it as the decorations. So freaking creepy. There were chandeliers,
coat of arms, huge pyramid things and just bones everywhere. It was freaking
creepy (did I mention that) I added a few pics. Some of the bones had holes in
the skulls from wars, and a lot of the bones were from the black
plague...sweet. It’s hard to describe how it was, its one of those you have to
be there things. blech. Then back home.
Ha that night was one to remember...well I remember most. Best part was
coming back and calling Aud. haha I think she talked to everyone of my flat
mates and she just laughed at us the whole time.
Sunday July 1- I had a photo safari for my visual class then we went to Kost
Castle, about an hour drive. It was cool, think of a castle in your head and that’s
what this was. Had the big walls and towers and such. Had a torture room where
there was all this torture stuff on display that was used way back when. Pretty
gross, and sounds damn painful. It was a cool place to see, but doesn’t really
rank that highly compared to the other sights I’ve seen. Did nothing after we
got back because I knew Monday was going to be a long day.
Monday July 2- Long freaking day, but I think a lot of that is due to the fact
that I had classes. 8:30am we had to go to the courthouse and watch some of a
trial. It was cool to see how their system worked, but I couldn’t understand
what was going on...it was all in the impossible Czech language. After court I
went to class for three hours, two hour break and back to class for another
three.
O man was last night interesting! Eva, our tour guide person, who does
everything for us...classroom stuff, trips, housing...she’s just awesome. Well
it was her birthday yesterday...and she made the mistake of going out with us.
My guess is she is early 30's, but does not act it at all. Because she was
going out with us, EVERYONE came out, including my professor who I took shots
with haha. It was quite a night to say the least.
Being July 2nd it hit me that I only have a month left here as I fly back
Aug 2nd. That freaking sucks, it is amazing here! I already dread going home.
Yeah it'll be good to see the fam, aud, and friends that I obviously will not
be seeing till then, but I will miss this place.
Today, July 3rd- Like I said, not doing much of anything. I need to go to the
grocery store again...always an experience, and I have some reading and work to
do. JULY 4TH TOMORROW! Pretty excited about that...wait, not that much, I’m not
in the US. Haha there is a local restaurant owned by an American and they are
having a BBQ and party there, so I will definitely be hitting that up.
Remember feel free to call me here at (914)410-6616, it’s a NYC # so it won’t
be long distance. I can share stories that I shouldn’t write on here.
Added more pics..Its hard to select which ones to add. I have well over 300
already!
Haha peace out- I’m going to go get a gyro...mmmm
