After breakfast we came back upstairs and napped and did homework. We read another act of King Lear, and I did manage to get my laundry done. We then went out to finish the walk we started yesterday.
It was fun and we found this amazing and adorable pasta shop we'll definitely be frequenting in the future. It was called &Pasta and was run by this adorable old Italian man. He was the nicest man and I want to adopt him as another grandfather. He was so nice and helpful and pleasant to talk to. He was interested in where the five of us were from (because we're from the States) and told me that he could tell I was from Utah (after I told him) because I'm "blonder and hammier" (though I may have heard him wrong. I'm not really sure what he said)? But he was the nicest person we've encountered here, and his food was incredible. Italians know how to do pasta.
After we ate we finished our walk. It took us down another theater street and Chinatown. I love Chinatown everywhere I visit, and London's was no exception. It was smaller than I was expecting, but it was still a delightful place that I'll have to revisit--especially because there were some adorable bookstores right across the street.
Homework makes for less of an exciting day than usual, but I needed that today. Sometimes a bit of a down day is what you really need.
And now for some pictures!

This street was tiny and so adorable. At the end and across the road there's a candy shop (where we all bought something) and several bookstores.
One of the windows of the bookstore. But I would never buy anything at this one. I'm pretty sure it's a specialty store or something--the cheapest book on display was forty pounds!
Tomorrow we'll be visiting another market or two and I could not be more excited. Markets are the best!
