SATURDAY!!

headed down south...saturday morning darren, jake, pat, and i jumped on the high speed from St. Pancras station bound for Ramsgate. the high speed train is capable of traveling at speeds in excess of 130 mph. upon arrival to a very modest station compared to where we had come from we took a taxi down to the harbor. this was the first time i had ever seen the ocean and even though i think it was actually the english channel i was still stoked. we walked up and down the beach for most of the morning and then had fish and chips at a local restaurant. that afternoon we took in some second hand shops and the sailor's church there that has been converted in the headquarters for the local chapter of the Sea Cadets. overall, this side trip has been the most fun thing id done the whole time.
