Hey everybody, I'm at Brighton beach in England! I made is safely and met up with 2 college friends. VERY tired but hopoing to stay up late enough that jet lag won't mess up my life for the next few days.

It's really good to eat fish 'n chips again! Everything is expensive, it seems, but that's only because the exchange rate is so bad right now. Oh well. I'll try to post pictures when I get the opportunity.

Here is my itinerary for those interested:
