I have been busy the past couple of days. Saturday, I went into town for a couple of hours and did some shopping, not really exciting. On Sunday the whole family went to a nature park and did a small hiking trail. After the trail we ventured to Beachy Head which is a famous spot for it's beauty and it's horror. People from all over England drive out to this cliff to commit suicide. It's one of the most beautiful spots in Eastbourne, yet it's story is disturbing. On a sunny day you can even see France from the cliff, but every day there are memorials to those who have ended their life at that very spot. It was like a car crash, you know it's horrifying to look at but you can't turn away because you're in awe.
At the bottom of the cliffs was a newly reopened English pub, we stopped and had a pint. I had a pint of Newcastle (my favorite beer) and it was soo good. I might have been imagining it, but I could have sworn it tasted better here than it did in the US.
Monday was back to work and I watched the kids, but that isn't really work. They have been angels because they want to earn their trip to London, which happens to be tomorrow. I'm very excited and I will probably wake up at 6am ready to go!
It's odd to believe that I'm really here. Everything feels the same as if I was in America but it defiantly doesn't look the same. Everything here has so much more "energy". You can feel the history behind the walls of the buildings and the grounds. It's quite spectacular.
I hear dinner being called so I better grab my spot. I will update after London.
