Matt's London Trip (finally!)

A couple months (could I be any slower?) ago Matt took a trip to London on an Accounting Study Abroad. Unfortunately, I wasn't invited! It was tough being away from him, especially since we could only email each other.

Matt would email me pictures every night of the things he did that day, so here are some of the highlights! (These pictures were taken on his iPhone. His camera broke the first day he was there! So these pictures will have to do.)

Big Ben
The white cliffs of Dover
Matt and a few from the group of accounting students

Trebuchet

Downtown London




Wagamama was Matt's favorite restaurant in London. He ate there every day while in London (sometimes twice!) So he brought back a Wagamama cookbook for me ;) It has some great recipes!
...
Below are a couple of interesting pictures. Matt was able to find the chapel where his 16th great grandpa, John Rogers, was the Vicar in Old London. He helped in the translation of the Bible into English in the 1500s and was burned at the stake for it, which is also right outside of the chapel.
Can you see his name?

This sign is mounted outside the front door of the church.

Changing of the guard.

I thought this was cute, Harry Potter's platform 9 and 3/4 in the London train station.

IASB (International Accounting Standards Board), where the rules for International Accounting are set.
(One of the main reasons Matt went to London in the first place)
London Eye

The London Tower Oxford


Piccadilly Square (the Times Square of London)

Stonehenge



Westminster Abbey
...the end.
