I would move heaven and earth

I went with Kristi and both children to the embassy for Matt's appointment this morning. We had hoped to have Addi's appointment rolled into the same time, but there were still a couple of obstacles. One of the problems was Addi needed a final doctor's check-up before she could get her pink slip. In order to still try and get her in today, her facilitator and I took her to the doctor's office across the street and got in right away (we were rushing to get this done before Kristi was called to her interview for Matt). Addi checked out fine and the doctor was very friendly, and he offered any help while we are staying here.

But, before we went to the doctor's office, we had to get a passport photo for Addi. We walked down a back alley behind the embassy and ducked into a small photo shop (a 5' X 8' studio and a similar sized waiting room). While I was holding Addi in the seat the radio was playing Rick Astley (Together Forever). I thought it was funny to be in a back-alley shop in a third-world country and jamming to Rick Astley. It also reminded me of the current phenomenon called Rickrolling.

Here's a link to Addi's new passport photo.

Although we had Addi's medical finished in time, we were not able to get Addi's appointment this morning. The embassy did indicate they should get us in early next week, so we're hoping for Monday. We're supposed to leave late Wednesday night, so anytime by the end of Tuesday will work for us (we have to pick-up paperwork from the embassy on the following business day after an appointment).

Cameras were not allowed this morning (no battery operated devices), so no other new pics for now.
