A chapel in Kutna Hora is decorated with bones from 40,000 plague victims. Creepy! The chandelier contains every type of human bone.

    Wow. I'd heard of ossuaries before, but didn't know about this one. Great pics. I always love the photos you post of your travels!

    Oooo...very Indiana Jones-ish! I'm enjoying the photos from your adventures. How's the weather this week?

    wow, that is creepy. Why would they do something like that? No place to bury the dead? You are seeing some very interesting places.

    Yes--it's all quite interesting! The weather is about the same this week--in the 30s. Okay with a nice warm coat!
