Horsham:

I finally found a picture!
Back in August, I spent my last few days across the pond in a town in Sussex called Horsham. It was magical. One evening at sunset, we took a walk up the hill [Denne Hill] and then back down through this field. As I wrote that night, I was so bummed that I didn't bring my camera on the walk. But I finally found a picture. It doesn't do it justice--especially because when I was there everything was alive and blooming and bathed in light from the sunset. But I'm glad I found a picture.
In the distance are the North Downs. I can't point to it in the picture, but one of those is Box Hill =)

Reminiscing about my last day in the UK. I got to spend the day in Sussex visiting Beachy Head and Brighton. The gorgeous white cliffs are known as the 7 sisters and are absolutely stunning!
Its a bit hard to tell, but the pic in the middle is of a vintage (we're talking 40's or 50's) fighter jet flew past. And just to the right of that is a quintessential English light house.
The top photo is my "Oreo Sandwich." From left to right is: Alice, myself, Selam, and Leila. Alice and Leila are from Burundi, but studying at Bible College in London for 2 years. Selam is from Ethiopia, but lives with the Whites in Horsham. I definitely miss them!

Tonight I had a sunset walk through a beautiful part of Sussex. It was absolutely magical and I'm just kicking myself for not bringing my camera. We went up Denne Hill and from there had a gorgeous view of the North Downs and I got to see Box Hill. I actually got to see Box Hill!
[For those of you who didn't know, Jane Austen's Emma is set in Sussex and the main characters have a picnic on Box Hill =]
It was just fabulous! Tomorrow, we're off to Brighton and Beachy Head. The cliffs there are just like the "white cliffs of Dover." So stoked! Pictures to come (hopefully) tomorrow. Sweet dreams =)
