A Day at Brighton Beach
This last weekend, I traveled with Jamie to Brighton! It is a beach town located along the English Channel. It was a great day for the trip. The temp was about 40 degrees and cloudy. A great January day for walking along the shiny stoned beach.
This is St. Andrews church. It is the oldest building in Brighton (over 900 years old!) Below is a picture of one of the inside church walls. The architecture and design inside was very delicate and extravagant.

Below is the Brighton Pier. The neat thing about Brighton is that it is like a British Coney Island. Parts of Brighton (such as the streets and the downtown) are incredibly steep, hilly and the buildings are tight together...reminds me of San Francisco... Then other parts are truly British. Later, I'll show you some pics that have a distinct Indian feel. The beach? Truly Coney Island! The Pier has a large arcade and at the tip there is a small amusement park, where I rode a MECHANICAL BULL!!!!!! AAAAaaaa!!!! So much fun!!
Aha! Here is what I was telling you about. That distinct Indian feel, thanks to the Royal Pavilion!
Brighton was by far my favorite town so far, besides London. It was a perfect place to spend a Saturday! :) Miss you all and hope you are enjoying the moment!
Heather, the photo of you with the Royal Pavilion is amazing! I have never been there - did you get to go inside? How far is this from your residence? I will have to see more photos when you return home!
ReplyDeleteI just love the design of the palace. So pretty!! It was built for King George IV. I didn't go inside of the palace though.
ReplyDeleteBrighton is only about an hour by train from my place, so I'm hoping to go back for a second visit! :) Maybe when the weather is warmer. :) Hope you are enjoying your time off! I'll definitely show you more pics when I get back!
