Brighton

Oscar and I went to Brighton on Saturday. It is a small coast town about an hour train ride from London. My sister had told us about it but we didn't get there when she was here over the summer. We woke up on Saturday to nice weather. Since we keep thinking that each nice Fall day is going to be our last, we hopped on the train and spent the day on the coast.

Brighton is a really cute town that has a great boardwalk and a fun pier. It is also known for its crazy nightlife but, since that's not really my scene these days, we took the first train back once the sun went down. We took a chance on a restaurant that had a great terrace and overlooked the water. We weren't expecting great food but decided to go there for the sunshine and the view. The food was actually pretty good and we were pleasantly surprised. We spent the next couple of hours walking up and down the coast and were beat by the end of the day. I am so glad we went because it just wouldn't be the same when it is cold and rainy.
On the pier. A lot like American piers with carnival games and rides and lots of fried food stands.

Brighton town behind me. The beach is not sand but rocks. It was really clean and well kept.

A nice view.

It was so sunny!

Facing the sun at lunch without my sunglasses. Homemade ice tea was delicious!
