Brightoning your day

Yesterday we took a trip to Brighton by the sea.  A pretty touristy place but still very cool.

After waking up 10 minutes before we were supposed to be on the bus we took a two hour ride to the England's southern coast.  Once we got there we went on an hour long tour of the Royal Pavillion - King George III's summer home and then explored downtown Brighton.  The town itself was really nice; lots of little alley ways with vintage clothing stores, record stores, and little pubs and one of Britain's top 10 chip pies.   After looking for the place for close to an hour, we sat down and I gorged myself on one of the biggest fish n' chip plates I've ever seen.  Once we'd recovered we walked back to the beach and pier and checked out the British beach...nice, but just a little different than American beaches.

Once we arrived back in London after a heinous, three hour, traffic jam filled bus ride my roommates and I ate some brie on a baguette and then headed out to Fabric; a club in London about a twenty minute walk from our flat.  We all got a little taste of London's underground techno, electro, dub-techno scene.  Definitely crazy.

An awesome day overall, though.  Now two more days of weekend before class on Tuesday
