OBU in London #16 - August 2 (The Mousetrap)

July 16 – August 14, 2018 – “The London 15” – OBU Student Abroad in London, England

 

This summer, I had the privilege of spending a month in England with a group of 15 students from Oklahoma Baptist University.  Dr. Lindsey Panxhi (an English faculty colleague) and myself, along with our respective spouses, conducted a faculty-led Study Abroad that spent four weeks on

the ground in London teaching OBU courses to OBU students while being immersed in the culture and history of Great Britain.  These are our stories!  

Thursday, August 2 – The Mousetrap!

Class this morning—one of these days I’ll have to say more about that!  After lunch, the group went to two museums—the Museum of Natural History and the Victoria & Albert Museum.  I have had a lot of OBU responsibilities pile up over the past month, and also needed to get the London budget updated, so I stayed at Pickwick and worked all afternoon—I finished just barely after supper, right before our group left to see “The Mousetrap,” an adaptation of an Agatha Christie novel, and the longest-running play in history.  We went to St. Martin’s Theatre, a 15-minute walk away, in the theatre district.  The play was lots of fun—my deductive conclusion (whodunit) was grossly incorrect!  Good times.  Late night—after returning from the play (about 10PM) we had to pack for our weekend in Scotland, as we head off first thing in the
