I'm keeping a list of places we need to visit for The Silent Sod and Sedlec Ossuary is at the top of the list!

You mentioned cleaning the skulls. How did you do this? With little brushes, or...?

I've yet to visit the Paris catacombs, but will be visiting some in Rome next fall. I'd love to visit Sedlec Ossuary. I finally visited my first ossuary chapel this year - this one was in Milan.

Yes! I believe they were actually tooth brushes, if not pretty much identical to them. We had a bucket of water and would scrub each bone until the mud was off! It was strangely soothing lol. Wow! That sounds like a very neat place to visit!!

Ah, ok! I was picturing a toothbrush and water, but really wasn't sure. I like the "summer camp" feel you had while there. Always nice to hang out with kindred spirits.
