Half way into trip: Pamela Griffin

I can not believe that we only have half or time left in central europe. So far we have gone to Budapest and we are right now in vienna although tonight is our last night. Budapest was a really goos experience. It was a very old country especially in reagards to the artictecture. The buda hills was great because I really felt like I was in the old country. The presentations that we had were great because we got to learn about lots of womens experiences being in leadership experiences esp how they are trying to increase the fertility rate but the paternity leave for women can take them out of the work force for more than 2-3 years but then comming back to the workforce is very hard so it ends up being a double edge sword. Also it was interesting to here the Vienna is very different from Budapest because it is very more modern city and a lot more touristy. Tomorrow we are going to go see the scientists which I have been looking forward to becuase being a science major and not a managment major. Today was rainy and cold in the morning but then it opened up and got really sunny and nice. Tomorrow after a full day we are going Bratisliva.
