The Whitaker foundation, the organization paying for Melissa's grant, has a yearly meeting with all with the grant recipients. This year we in Budapest Hungary and as it happened it ended the day after the Volcano started. Melissa was lucky because she cut the trip short and came home about 8 hours before the vocano shutdown all of Europe. She missed the sight seeing day but she felt very very lucky when she heard of all the issues the people had try to get out of Budapest.
Here are a few pictures she took:
