Awesome, slow!

I ventured outside of Prague on my second weekend and took a train to Kutna Hora to see the famous Sedlac Ossuary... aka The Bone Church.
According to Wikipedia "The ossuary is estimated to contain the skeletons of between 40,000 and 70,000 people, whose bones have in many cases been artistically arranged to form decorations and furnishings for the chapel."

This demands more than just 1 pic

So jelly. That's one of the places I most want to visit.

Snapped this from the train on the ride to Kutna Hora. There were lots of old ass towns and abandoned shit. Sadly, most of my pics from the train had trees in front of them.

I wonder how they clean those windows. 700 years is a long time even for stained glass. Judging by the black stain on everything else, I assume they could use someone repelling down from the roof and scrubbing them clean. I know there are safer ways to clean those things for both the building and the cleaner, but if they want to use that method, I'm down for it if I'm ever in Prague.

Don’t attempt to clean medieval stained glass if you are not a trained and experienced stained glass conservator.

Ok, I may not be trained, experienced, or accredited. I will however work for the price of a room with a bug free/body fluid free bed for a week with enough drinking money to cover the nights of that week. Given this is Prague, that's not asking for a lot. Oh, and they have to let me repel, just because, that's going to be half the fun. And they can hold me liable, but keep in mind, I'll be back in the U.S. the week after. Do they extradite for stained window damage, I guess we'll find out together.

When people use repel instead of rappel it makes me giggle to myself.
