I took a weekend trip to Kutná Hora and Olomouc. Kutná Hora was on the way via train so I got off there (with a small connection train) and visited the Bone Church, a common gravesite of over 40,000 people. I feel like it is one of those things that will just disappear someday – bones won’t last forever in the open air like that. Otherwise, Kutná Hora was just a small town and I didn’t do much else there besides get on the train again for the city Olomouc (a-la-moats).

(I’d like to first give a global shout out to my first Crossfit home, The Athlete Lab) Since I’m in Prague for a month, I became a member of Crossfit Praha instead of just being a drop-in client. The gym is quite small, but centrally located in Prague. The lifting days are separate than the normal days (probably unless you are a trusted regular). The premise is, you show up during a block of time, warm up on your own, proceed with WOD, then cool down on your own which is pretty standard across gyms from what I can tell, exception being that everyone is starting the WOD at their own time (not structured times).

This adventure of mine is really turning into an adventure.. I’m staying in Prague for another month. I’m working at a hostel as a bartender and getting my own private room and one/two meals per day. I have two consecutive days off per week and I plan on going on overnight trips to other cities in Czech. I’ve basically invalidated the rest of my planning for the next month or two but I’ll figure that out later..

I’ve been in Prague since Oct 17, 10 days now. I really like the city and hope to explore more of the country soon besides the capital city. The city’s archetecture is nice because it was virtual untouched during WW2. The culture is somewhat interesting because it was communist until 1989. Now the city is preserving what was left to decay during that era. The food is good, the beer is good, and the city is cheap to live in.
