A trip to Brighton

On Saturday our whole group headed straight south to Brighton, which is a city right on the English Channel.  It was about an hour and a half and we were on the bus at 7:45 AM.  We got to Brighton and had a walking tour around the city and it was about a two hour tour and we learned quite a lot about the history of the city.  We started out walking around the Brighton Pier, which is what makes the Brighton city famous.  There is a large Pier with a ton of food and snacks all toped of with a amusement park out on the very end.  Here are some of the pictures of around the city.
Right when we got off the bus, this is a picture of the Pier from a ways away.

St. Stephan church in Brighton.

The Cricketers, the oldest pub in Brighton.

Royal Pavilion Palace.  It was built with a Indian style for King Charles.  

Front view of the Palace.

A piece of Art on the shore.  It only is visible with sunlight and can only be seen from a good distance.

We headed home and took it easy after everyone was sun burnt and tired.  Sunday we did a lot of homework before we had a dinner with our whole group and a comedy show.  We went to Adam's Ribs and it was very good.  It was kind of an American style place with big portions and great food.  After dinner we headed over to a comedy show in Piccadilly Circus.  It was a lot like the "Whose Line is it Anyways" that you will see on TV.  It was an improve show all based off of audience inputs.  The show was so funny and it had all of us rolling on the ground laughing!
Other than that, we all have a ton of homework.  It has caught up to us with a bunch of papers and tests that we need to read.


Cheers
