Dover & Canterbury

     Last Wednesday, we took our first day trip as a group. It was such a good day! We started the day off by going to Dover. Pulling up to the castle, we could see the coast and the white cliffs with the castle up on top of the hill, it was such an amazing view! Going up to the castle was such a crazy experience. I've heard about castles and seen them in movies my whole life, but actually being at one was so surreal. Just knowing how much history is there and how long it's been around was hard to wrap my head around. It was such a neat experience to be able to walk around the grounds and through the different parts of the castle. It really was amazing! After the castle, we went down to the coast and could see the white cliffs and the coast of France. Being able to say "I'm in London and I can see France" was the best feeling, life was good!

     After Dover, we made our way to Canterbury to see the cathedral. We were able to go on about an hour and a half tour through the cathedral and it was incredible! The art and architecture there is AMAZING! Aside from being so entranced by the architecture, I also loved being able to hear about the history and various stories of the cathedral and everything that has happened there. I love art and I love history, so our trip to Dover and Canterbury was the perfect day out for me!
