They were SO pissed off at us, and even our translator was worried for us. When a local gets scared, that's NOT a good thing.

Ahh, memories!


ETA - oooh pretty pic!
So what happened?

As far as I can remember, after about an hour or so of us sitting in their waiting room not knowing wtf was going on, they came back and exchanged it. But we were told they were making an exception for us just once, never do it again, you need to obey our rules, yadda yadda. I know I was freaking out the entire time, as they had left with our American money (we couldn't even bring Canadian $$ for some reason ), and I didn't know if we'd even get THAT back. I'll have to search for my journal that I kept during that month and see if I'm remembering correctly. It was pretty crazy.


Time for lunch. Thank god - I'm so hungry!

Wow, you must have been sitting there thinking "gulag" and "Siberia." Or maybe I've read too much Solzhenitsyn.

It's probably shielding his legs from the rain.

No, those thoughts are pretty accurate.


Food is divine, especially when one is cranky and tired and PMS-y.
