Kutna Hora/Sedlec Bone Church(Ossuary)--an hour by train from Prague

We took a train on a Saturday to the nearby medieval village of Kutna Hora and Bone Church.
 Here are a few interesting  things we saw during the trip down. Hector thought this billboard was "so cool, dude!"
 Georgia and Pearl loved this smoke tower. (Don't know why we didn't get a pic of the train--it was a classic old red and turquoise "little engine that could." The kids loved the glassed-in compartment where we sat. Finn loved his ipod...
 We all loved the bright colors of the painted houses in the otherwise mostly run-down town where the Ossuary was located.
 We enter the Ossuary--where the bones of over 40,000 people are artfully arranged. Truly fascinating and downright weird!
The entrance...
