We had a very good iced coffee at The Italian Coffee Club while we waited for the man at the momos booth to cook some up fresh for us. They were also delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A pleasant lunch in\nour bellies, we headed for the tube station. There were two police\nofficers and staff at the door today. Strange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was a little\nfreaked out, as I always am with police officers around, especially\nwhen they usually aren\u2019t there, but I strode by passing my wallet\nover the gate and it let me in fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I continued to walk\nand turned to see if Toria were behind me. She was having trouble\nscanning her card momentarily. Then the transit staff lady told her\nto step back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s like I\u2019m talking to myself…\u201d she muttered. Is this some kind of British passive aggression? Seemed pretty odd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ride itself was\nuneventful. We rode the circle line around to the north end of it\narriving at Euston Square. Here we exited and made a right and walked\nin a big circle around the next block or so to arrive at Speedy\u2019s\nSandwich Bar & Cafe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not familiar? I wasn\u2019t either but I had been informed that it was the filming location for the newer Sherlock TV series. We took a series of photos and went inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inside were more\nphotos up on the wall and a drawing in the corner. A small display\ncase was on the left and some very 20th<\/sup> century diner\ntables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The food was passable but bland. Something we expected to find in Britain, but this place was particularly inoffensive. It hit the spot though, and that\u2019s all that really mattered. We also had a pretty good ginger beer. Maybe not good to people who like a lot of ginger, but it was one which Victoria would actually drink. It was watered down and sweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then we exited and headed back north and then west toward the library. There was quite a bit to see in here and I think you could spend a lot of time just exploring the library alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We happened upon the\nrare books display, which was kept dim and cool to preserve the aged\nand delicate tomes. Some were more delicate than others. I saw some\npeople taking photos at some booths surprisingly some with flash as\nwell, despite the message at the front about light damaging the\nbooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kids were using\nphones, but some old guy with a standard point and click camera was\nusing the autofocus complete with a visible light range finder\nshinning on the book. Oops!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I decided I could\nget away with at least one shot without any kind of light emitting\nfrom my camera, so I took this one to show off the pretty illustrated\nbooks seen below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We took a look in\nthe book store and the gift shop, didn\u2019t find anything of interest\nand headed outside for a coffee. We were both quite tired at this\npoint. Perhaps jet lag. Perhaps it was the 25000+ steps we took\nyesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Victoria had asked\nme on our way over if I wanted to stop at Paddington station since I\nhad made note of it on the way over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I said that it\nwasn\u2019t that important to me, because I was pretty tired, but we\nstopped over anyway to see what was there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I did end up taking\na lot of photos here. It turns out it\u2019s at the eastern part of\nLittle Venice, which we had previously intended to explore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n There was a great\nlittle art show here showcasing art that combines electronics and\nphysical media such as metal, resin, plastics, and lights. I took a\nfew neat looking videos of the pieces exploiting the depth of field\ncontrol of my DSLR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We did get video of\nsome water fowl for Natalie. There, I hope you like it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/lilithebowman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/DSC_8542-1024x683.jpg\")
