OBU in London #3 - July 20 (British Museum)

Pickwick Hall's kitchen

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!

Woke up – nice breakfast, courtesy of Pickwick.  Patrick, the owner, and his wife Clara, are quite pleasant and enjoyable to chat with.  He is the picture of British propriety and politeness.  Probably mid-50s to early-60s.  Helpful in answering curious questions about London and England.  The breakfasts here are consistent: toast (3 types of bread) with butter and/or marmalade, cereal (four kinds, including oatmeal), milk, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate.  We are buying peanut butter for the team as well, to supplement the breakfast options with more protein.
