London (with captions): L&P DLC: Shopping spree and skulls everywhere

Went shopping today! We went to two different shops, Shakespeare and Company and Mariage Freres. Both were beautiful and both didn't allow photos in their establishments. Shakespeare and Company was an amazing looking English bookstore. They had a wide selection of both Shakespeare's works and other books. The problem I have is that I own the complete works of Shakespeare, so I can never validate purchasing any books that he wrote. There was a little cubbyhole that had a typewriter in it and tiny notes written in various languages all over the walls. There was another wall that had messages and photos on it too. Messages from writers, visitors to the store, visitors to Paris. It was so neat. The other place, Mariage Freres, was a fancy tea store. There was a wall of these giant tins, each in their individual cubby, that contained tea. They also sold tea pots and tea cups, it was so cool, I wish I could've taken pictures. I smelled a really great Earl Grey, but it didn't come in bags and that's all I know, so I got a different kind recommended to me called Marco Polo. It's supposed to be fruity and flowery, whatever that means. After shopping, we had lunch and then from lunch, we headed back to the hotel for a half hour to collect ourselves and drop off our purchases.

When 2:00 rolled around, 9/12 of us headed off to the catacombs. We arrived to a pretty long line and had to wait in the rain for about an hour. I passed the time playing Hangman with some of the people, huddled around the umbrella making sure the notebook we were writing in didn't get too wet. Once it was our turn in line, we made our decent into the the earth. The entire time we were down there, I had this gnawing idea in my head, "Today is the day that all of the things necessary for these tunnels to cave in will happen." The corridors were really narrow and my head almost touched the ceiling. It was both cool and uncomfortable to be as deep in the ground as we were.

On top of that, there were walls of bones and skulls too.

Having breezed past most of the info. cards (I'm growing weary of reading those things. I used to read everyone that came my way. Today, I just quick scanned/ignored them) I don't know anything behind why there are bones in the catacombs, but there were bones. A ton of bones.
