Whoa, it's been a while!

Well hello there folks! It's been a while since I have last posted. I have been extremely busy with school and traveling but let me give you a little insight into what I have been doing for the past few weeks.

On Sunday November 7th, my host parents, roommate and I went to Beachy head which is an absolutely amazing set of cliffs merely moments away from where I am living. The pictures speak for themselves. Take a look.

   On November 12th, I travelled to beautiful Paris, France with a group of students from Brighton University. We left bright and early on Friday morning at 6 a.m. and arrived in Paris around 5 p.m. One of the coolest parts of the trip was the underground tunnel that our bus went through in order to get to France. This tunnel took us under the English channel, so we were under water in our bus for about two hours!
 Shortly after getting settled into our hotel, we started on our journey to the boat tour of Paris. On the way, we stumbled upon the beautiful Eiffel tower! Take a look at how gorgeous it is!


     Other buildings on the boat tour included Notre Dame (pictured below) and the Lourve. The Lourve is one of the most famous art museums in the world. In fact, if you stood in front of each piece of art in the Lourve for 30 seconds, it would take you 36 years to get to each piece of art! It is that big!

Paris is famous for its desserts,

The amazing Sacre Coure church 
built in 1919. 
The hall of mirrors at Versailles






Escargot!

Ok, I had to eat some snails in France! They were actually pretty delicious






On November 19th, I went to one of my favorite places that I have been to so far, Liverpool! I am a HUGE Beatles fan and it was surreal being in the town that bred the greatest band of all time! (Needless to say, my dad was a bit jealous)
