Kutna Hora, Czech Republic

The last time my parents and I went to Kutna Hora, we went to the Santa Barbara cathedral. It was gorgeous. However, after I left the Czech Republic I came across a post that talked about the creepiest places on earth and mentioned that Kutna Hora had an ossuary made up lots of skulls (40,000). I was a bit upset that I didn't see it even though I was in the area. So, on this trip I made sure that we went to the ossuary because it was just an hour from my grandma's village. It was such a crazy sight to see and even creepier to think that 40,000 skulls were used to make it. However, it was quite beautiful in a creepy artistic way. After the ossuary we went to another cathedral. Then we went for drinks at a restaurant across the cathedral. I realized that I really hadn't taken that many photos of people wearing my glasses on this trip, so I went back to the ossuary to get my photos! Thanks to the workers who participated!

Weimar, Germany

My parents and I decided to go to Weimar, Germany for a couple of days. It was a cute quiet town that was full of older german tourists. This is the first (and I think only) post that I will have without anyone wearing the glasses. This post is just to showcase how beautiful the town was.

Back in Praha

My grandmother had 2/3rds of her bottom lip removed due to cancer. My parents told me that they were going to fly out to the Czech Republic to see her and told me that if I wanted to go at the same time as them, that they would pay for my ticket. OF COURSE I WENT!!! My grandma has been able to overcome cancer 3 times!!!! And 3 different ones!! She is very strong and still lives by herself (she will be 91 in December). I took some nice photos of the city and then went to the local pub in my grandma's village where a beer company called Holba was having different kinds of competitions. There was a shooting laser target game and a magnetic beer cap toss. It was a fun night in the village.
