Czech Cont.

2007-10-12T08:03:00.000-05:00

We took a day trip from Prague to Kutna Hora to see the Sedlec Ossuary. Decorated with the bones of 40,000 people, it was an amazing thing to see, but there were enough tourists inside ooing and ahhing to lose the creepy quality it should've had. Definitley worth the trip though, where else are you gonna see something like this?

Czech Rep

The Czech Republic was a much needed break from the rest of Europe, mostly on the wallet, getting around and staying is cheap, but most importantly big tasty beers are cheaper than water. Maybe thats why of everywhere we went Prague had the highest number of drunk locals walking around at all times of the day. Or maybe they drink alot because they're always in a bad mood, many of the czech people we encountered seemed to be, almost made us feel like we were back in NY.

Dresden

Sausage stand in the Dresden Neustadt train station.

This sounded like one crazy place; only in Germany.

Golden statue of August the Strong, king of Saxony and Poland.

View from the "bier garten", lucky we had no problem translating that.

Dresden was a cool place. A bit run down and grimy; it still had that eastern bloc feel. Beer was good and cheap, curried sausage was great against all expectations. There's tons of young punk rockers hanging out in the streets drinking all night, and little record shops and pubs everywhere.

Amsterdam

2007-10-10T12:06:00.001-05:00

A tour of the former Heineken brewery was good, not super interesting, but they provide you with 3 beers and a bottle opener with your ticket.

Someone told me the grass is famous in Amsterdam, here's a pile,maybe this isn't what they meant.

Clair at the train station, heading to Berlin, 630am.

London

The London Eye, it was too expensive to ride, we just looked at it.

Tower bridge through a window. This is where they used to put severed heads on spikes.

Spent a lot of time doing the typical tourist things in London. Westminster abbey, a boat down the river, fish and chips, Brick Lane curry, days spent in museums and pubs.

Europe Photos: Wales

2007-10-10T11:50:00.000-05:00

These are some images from a recent trip to Europe. There are some photos from each stop.
Wales:

Wales was gorgeous, it looked very much as you'd expect the British countryside to look; cliffs dropping into the sea, sheep wandering around, endless fields with stone walls and hedges running through them, old ruins here and there.

Some recent photos of Latino skinheads in New Jersey. These were shot at a tattoo shop owned by one of the subjects, and at "tattoo parties" they are hired to do in peoples homes.
