En La Cuidad

Yesterday afternoon we had Luis' embassy medical evaluation. It was at a Doctor's office a couple of blocks from the embassy. The main thing we were looking to avoid was having to get shots. I had done a vaccination affidavit while in the states and that did the trick. He will still have to have shots but at least they will happen when we are home. The rest of the medical exam was quick and easy. The doctor asked some questions, checked Luis' mouth and poked around his stomach and then we were done.

We waited the rest of the day, but got no visa interview date from the embassy. So we spent the afternoon and evening playing in the pool and then I went and picked up pizza and bourbon chicken from the food court, before going to bed.

This morning we got up and made pigs of ourselves at the continental breakfast. We ate almost all the watermelon and yogurt as well as the last of the chocolate pastries. Then Chris and Caroline had school with Mom while I worked with Luis. They finished up school around noon and then we headed to find lunch. We got back at 1:30 and I learned we could call the embassy visa unit at 2pm. They told me they had not received our file from the USCIS yet and so could not schedule an appointment. I did everything I could to convince them and she said if they got the file by 4 pm she would schedule us for tomorrow. By 4:40 I gave up and assumed we would be spending the weekend in Guatemala. Just before 5pm we got the appointment date for tomorrow at 7:30am. YES!!!!! We had a giant family hug and headed out to Chili's to celebrate. After Chili's we headed back to the hotel and now we are watching the Empire Strikes Back before we head to bed. Can't wait for our appointment tomorrow.
