Me and 8 others went to Brighton yesterday and even though it was overcast and a bit chilly, the day was a blast! Brighton is an hour train ride south of London, right on the shore. Our British Life and Culture teacher, Susie, lives there so she met us at the station with her 9 month old dalmatian and showed us around for a bit before leaving us to explore on our own.

The pavilion for "dirty weekends" built by royalty in 1820, later used as a hospital for Indian solders during one of the world wars.
There are two piers, one got burned down by the owners of the other.
It was very windy by the water.
Can you spot the sailboat?
Nick went for a real swim.
I chose just to put my feet in. The rocks hurt so I wasn't in the water for long.
After doing some shopping we had a traditional English tea.
Heather and Claire
We discovered that there were speed trials going on along our walk towards the cliffs.
There were a lot of different types of vehicles, this one was my favorite.
Dinner time after much exploring.
All in all it was a great day.
