white cliffs

we woke up this morning and boarded the coach (my favorite thing ever) to head to Dover. but to be honest, this ended up being my favorite thing ever. Dover was absolutely beautiful. we visited the lighthouse, castle, and church right there on the cliffs. the view was gorgeous and it was a sunny morning, so that made it all the better!



our next stop was st. augustine abbey. look at these amazing ruins.



lastly we went to canterbury. we read canterbury tales earlier in the term, so it was fun to see what it was written about. this is the martyrdom of thomas a becket that people would pilgrimage to.



we got back pretty late, but i was so happy i was able to meet up with emma, rupert, and his parents for dinner at hache! it was so so so much fun to be able to see them all again. it felt like a family dinner- something i've missed the last 6 weeks! they have been way too good to me here in london, and i'm going to miss them all so much when i go back home!!
