Nothing too special going on with me lately--still writing my essays. Pretty much the highlight of my days is the latte I order from the student union bar each day as a break from the library. Thrilling!

I remembered I never posted pictures of my day trip to Brighton a couple of weeks ago. Brighton is only about and hour south of London; it's on the coast of the English Channel. It is a popular holiday location for Londoners as there are beaches and clubs and a huge pier with carnival rides, video games, and slot machines. Brighton was also popular with King George IV who had a palace constructed there.

Over looking the beach and Brighton Pier.

Relaxing at a beachside cafe.

The beach is stony--no sand to be found anywhere.
Not nearly as nice as Lake Michigan beaches!

'Seabirds' (as they are called here)

The Royal Pavilion

The domes and spires resemble the Taj Mahal.

We ate a yummy Italian restaurant and I ordered DELICIOUS tiramisu for dessert. I wanted to lick the plate, but restrained myself.
