A little behind, so I'll try to catch you up. Saturday I went back to the V&A library to do some more research for my paper. I love how quiet and studious that library is. It makes me sad that it's closed the rest of the time we're here.
I then headed over to the Portobello Road Market in Notting Hill. I'd watched Notting Hill the night before, but alas, there was no travel bookshop with a hot englishman instide. It was a really cool experience though. On Saturdays, all these temporary stalls get set up and so in addition to all the little shops, there are tons and tons of vendors. There were throngs of people, but it was really awsome. I was able to find one of my presents that I'd been searching in vain for, which was brilliant. I also got a small pocket watch on a necklace- something I've been wanting for over a year now. It really reminded me of England's version of the Swap Meet. (For those of you who don't know, the Swap Meet is sort of a farmer's market that happens every saturday on Maui). The money rule certainly applies though- however much money you bring with you, you will spend.
Afterwards we got Indian from the restaurant down the street. Yum!
