Iceland "Science" Trip

Here are a few pictures from the "science" trip that I took with one of the student organizations I belong to here at the University of Iceland -- namely the HOMO group.

And NO, HOMO does not mean what you think it is, but rather it is the student anthropology group named after us as humans -- Homo sapien.

Anyway, these trips are set up by potential employers as a recruiting tool to try and alleviate "brain drain," which is when students who graduate go abroad for employment, rather than staying in their home country.
Here´s Liz on her birthday, of all things, waiting for the bus that will
take us on the science trip to go to the power control station here in Reykjavik.

On the bus.

Pretty cushy bus, too.

The start of the meeting.

People are still looking a little tense.

Since there were 4 of us who couldn´t understand much of what was being said,
I got up in the presentation to get another beer and take this picture.

Just one of the many, many funny sayings that the Icelanders have on clothing.

People are starting to liven up now that we have a few beers in us.

Even Canadian Courtney got in on this drinking thing.

This is Liz in her favorite pose.

If you doubt that, check her out in my Hitchhiking gallery.

Bwahahaha!!

What a guy.

He was at my table, and we had a great time with him.

After all the free beer we could drink at the presentation, we then hopped back on the bus and it took us to one of the local bars in Reykjavik.

This picture was taken at about 8:00.

Without a doubt, this is way too early to be drinking in Reykjavik, just don´t tell these girls.

And if you look close, you´ll see that that is Zach´s hat on that girl.

Here we are at the bar getting ready to watch the Icelandic Idol.

The locals love it, because it is so funny, and usually one or two people know someone on the show.

And apparently, wrist warmers are the in thing, as well.

Bad picture, but at long last here is the Idol.

This was pretty much the end for me.

My friend Liza back in Idaho would also like to point out that this is
actually a good representation of what my vision probably was at this point.
