Happy Women's Day!
Mike emailed Misha and asked if he would have time today to come over and work in the INSTE office with him. Misha replied that since today is Women's Day, he will be spending the time with his wife and daughters. That's when we remembered that today is International Women's Day.
Here in Hungary, Women's Day is celebrated much like Mother's Day or Valentine's Day--women are given flowers and chocolate as an expression of love and respect. In some other former communist bloc countries, the day is a national holiday in honor of the economic, social and political contributions of women. Nancy's just glad to have another reason to eat chocolate!

Silly you for not remembering! Hopefully Nancy didn't have to buy her OWN chocolate! :)

We went shopping at Cora for some other things, so we picked out her favorite chocolate (the Milka). At the checkout line every woman was given a small piece of chocolate in the red wrapper.
