Beachy Head

How about this for some scenery? We went to Beachy Head, part of the southern coast that is made of the same chalk as the famous white cliffs of Dover. It's closer to us, and somewhat more dramatic as there are ALMOST NO BARRIERS BETWEEN YOU AND THE EDGE. Glen loved it as I grabbed onto the kids until they had no flesh left on their limbs. Of course, it's the #3 spot in the world to end things yourself (Golden Gate bridge is #2) so it's at once breathtakingly beautiful and macabre. The winds were amazing and we had a great day. We also visited a colleague from U Sussex in Eastbourne in a neighborhood very much like Charles Village. We are off to explore the continent a lot in the next month. We leave for Belgium on Saturday, and I've just been invited to give a paper in Copenhagen the week after that. Then, Greece!
