People and Friends of Gamli Gardur (Iceland)

Gamli Gardur is the name of the building that I live in. It is somewhat like a dorm, and is where most of the American students who are studying abroad at the University of Iceland live at. Be sure to check out the gallery "Gamli Gardur" to get a little more of the lowdown on it.

Vote on my gallery if you like it!

Tim, again.  However, notice that even for an aspiring college student, he is slightly aschew.  Receding hairline, even though he is in his early 20“s, second-hand backpack, fucked-up flannel which he loves, little pot-belly that is rolling over, wearing one of the two pairs of pants that he owns, zipper is open, and finally..his ankles are showing (whatever the hell that is supposed to mean).  Thanks for the detailed description, Tim.  Ladies, yes, he“s all yours.

This is Kate.  She is like the molly miss homemaker of the floor.  She bakes bread, cookies, cinnamon rolls, all kinds of good stuff for us to eat.  Plus, she has all kinds of knitting abilities, and makes a lot of clothing that come in handy for her here in Iceland.

Wow.  I just had to take this picture of Kate.  Here she is with Bill.  I get such a kick out of her hairdo when she does it this way.

Liz.  The artist who has some pictures in this album that clearly demonstrate what you are not supposed to do on a dorm room wall.  Do you love Vermont now, as well?

Here is Liz again, painting the wall in her room.  I“m glad to see that she has the balls to do something like this.  Plus, it is just fun to walk into her room and see it.  Way to go Liz!

Aforementioned Kool-Aid man.  The damn thing is so big that I can“t even fit it all into one frame.  I“d like to see a new clause in our housing contract just because of this.  I still think it is funny as hell.

The one and only picture that I have that shows the Wall of Shame.  It was started by Evil Courtney and anyone that said something hilarious, or just outright stupid, it was put up on there.  Believe me, I had my fair share.
