We went to Brighton, England on Sunday. Brighton is a coastal town about 60 miles away that became popular when George IV vacationed there to avoid gambling debts and his father, the current king. In the 60's it was the city where the Mod movement started (Twiggy, Warhol, etc). Today, it's known as the homosexual capital of England and some great vintage shopping. While we were there, a chocolate festival was going on. Suffice it to say, we were all asleep on the bus ride home because of sugar rush. This is the beach and pier. Strangely, the beach does not contain sand, it is composed of pebbles. It's uncomfortable to walk barefoot on. Along the coast were tons of fish and chip stands, and of course I had some and it was the best fish and chips I've had all semester.
