July 16 – August
14, 2018 – “The London 15” – OBU Student Abroad in London, England |
| Beautiful church - St. George? |
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!

Wednesday, July
25 – Westminster Abbey, The Globe 
We swapped our morning and afternoon schedules again
today. Given the extreme heat, we moved
our excursion (Westminster Abbey) to the afternoon. That way we would be walking and touring
before the heat kicked in. Westminster
opens to the public at 9:30, and was a 45-minute walk, so we left Pickwick at
8:45. It was a lovely walk, and this
time we did stumble across Trafalgar
Square, commemorating the English victory at the Battle of Trafalgar. There is a nice pool and fountain, along with
several statues of military heroes. It
was a good place for photos, so we stopped for a couple of minutes.
