The Perfect English Weekend

I had been feeling kind of low since the "volcano", that shall remain nameless, (partly because I can't pronounce it) ruined my mum's trip. So when I heard Bets was going to Brighton, I quickly invited myself along. I hadn't been to any other English towns besides Canterbury so I thought it would be the perfect day trip. And I was not disappointed. It was the perfect day. I took the train from Canterbury to meet Betsy and her friends who were coming. I got there a little before her and waited for her to arrive. When I saw her coming through the barricades I saw that it was just her!! She and I had a little play date all to ourselves. It was sunny and high 60's and we walked to the beach. We got to sit on the rocks on the beach and enjoy a lovely lunch (I had a blt and she a toastie). It was the perfect day-- we walked along the Brighton Pier, which looked a lot like California, and had ice-cream. We were sitting in a park near Brighton centre when Betsy came up with the AMAZING idea to not go our separate ways that night but for her to come back to Canterbury for the night then leave for London sunday morning. I was overjoyed to say the least. We trained back and went to one of my favorite places in Canterbury for dinner-- Boho Cafe, loves it. Then, once again my brilliant friend, came up with the idea to see a movie. We saw "Date Night" which was just as funny as I hoped it would be. We slept so soundly that night :)

The next day we got ready to get the bus to London to head to the Globe to see "Macbeth". We literally had to run from my apartment to make the bus, but luckily we did. After heading to "Hache" to have the best burger ever, we walked around Camden Market. The whole market was such an incredible atmosphere and they had the most amazing jewelry and dresses. I've wanted a nice english party dress since I've been here and, unfortunately, they were just all to pricey for me. The Globe was incredible--Macbeth is amazing seen live-- with such an immense feeling of history and excitement. I am so happy that I got to see a Shakespeare play at the Globe, I can officially check it off the bucket list. And I'm especially glad I got to do it with Ms. Betsy Roughan!
