The day of Visas. A complete day. This is why you would pay someone to acquire VISA’s for you. An all-day affair … with children in-tow. We accomplished our goal. Everyone is passport-less except me. Hopefully, we will pick up the passports plus a Brasilian Visa tomorrow. The fees were outrageous. The highest we have seen – only because America charges so many fees for entering tourists from South America. We have only been in Madrid for one week, but our early morning activities and routines have halted and disappeared. We were lucky to be out of the door by 8:30am this morning. the good thing is that our apartment location allows us to walk to the Brasilian consulate. We had a morning snack at another little cafe named after Viena. Spain also only uses 1 “N” from VIENA – just like a little girl I know. We had all the correct paperwork minus photos with a white background. I have been carrying around those photos – we have been sticking them on postcards – thinking we could use them when the time was right – wrong. We had to have new photos taken at the 2 Euro each in the Colon Metro Photo-booth. On the walk back we stopped by a playground. A nice one for bigger kids. I owed this playground when we played tag until I broke my toe trying to run up the slide chasing Viena. The bigger you are, the harder you kick your toe. I will survive. Ezra and Viena loved the playground after 2 hours sitting waiting for Visa’s. Oh – the paperwork. Before you travel the world, ask yourself – are you good at paperwork. Hopefully you are. We will find out soon if I am good at paperwork. The playground at Mayo Plaza had a strange vibe during the siesta hour. Grocery shopping and Skype calls to home.
