Got up SUPER early today so that we could get to Houston in good time to be at the consulate between 11 and 12. We had a good drive over there although I felt so sleepy on the road. We were going to stop at Taco Cabana right outside Houston for some tacos but after exiting the highway, we decided to just keep on going so we got back on.
It took a little while at the consulate but eventually Guillermo was able to leave with his visa inside his passport. It was unbelievable. It just didn't seem real. We decided to celebrate so we had lunch at Yia Yia Mary's which is a Greek restaurant run by the Pappas brothers. The food was good and it was a good celebration meal!
Our drive back to San Antonio was also good and we were so glad to get back home to just relax. Ok, now we're all set. With all the setbacks, the visas have probably only bought us an extra 3 months instead of a whole year, but that's the way it goes. The important things are covered: to be able to go to Fernando's wedding in 5 months and to be able to leave Europe in good standing so that if we ever wanted to, we'd be able to go back.
