London - day by day: Friday
Jun. 29th, 2011 07:13 amFriday we went to Camden for the market. Yes, it is a tourist trap, but no only and it's for tourists like me and Valeria, unlike Oxford Street where you can find things you like, but really isn't for old punks and hippies like myself. Valeria adores Camden and finds it very strange that none of here friends, who go to london more frequently than we do, has hird of it.
A sign that Valeria is getting older is that we didn't buy any pretty Gothic Lolita dresses that she doesn't wear outside the house, but instead clothing that she actually uses. In this case a checked shirt/tunic in two tones of grey, a pretty wool mix dress in grey with black dots and a pair of blue, high heeled Oxfords. I don't think that I bought anything, except a hoodie for Vendela and a wallet with flowers on. And food of course, this year we had chinese: vegetarian chow mein for me and giant dumplings for Valeria.
Since we had walked along the canal last time we were there we decided to do something else in the afternoon and got on a bus to Russell Square, intending to go to the British Museum. When we got there, however, Valeria was tired and didn't feel like it so we had tea and muffins (or at least she had muffin) at Starbucks and just sat down, talked and relaxed. I don't think that the British Museum is going anywhere.
My real reason for going there was besides to go to Atlantis bookstore on Museum Street, which we did and had a nice chat with the owner and i bought a book by Ronald Hutton, namely: Witches, Druids and King Arthur.
The last thing we did in town was to return to Forbidden Planet on Valeria's request, so that she could buy even more Manga.
