I applied for my visa in September, and only got it back at the end of November -- after much waiting and not hearing responses from the consulate (they said 3 weeks; after 7 I ended up applying for a new passport because I couldn't just keep waiting) - and didn't actually make it to Brazil until mid/late January due to some stuff on the ground in Sao Paulo. I feel your pain! (and yeah, the whole "I thought you left already..." gets pretty old...I wanted to come up with wisecracks like "yes, you are speaking with a well-trained hologram..." but decided against it, tempting as it was).<br /><br />We also have some missionaries currently in Argentina (one Argentine, one American) still waiting on their Brazilian visas to come here for 3 years... good good times... :P If you ever need to vent, you're more than welcome to!Nina Boehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358770673606809315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794700966812833136.post-7481221562057677752013-08-28T12:54:58.132-04:002013-08-28T12:54:58.132-04:00Still praying for you.

You can also find it at restaurants but we all know food at a festival is way better... Enjoy these last few weeks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722767112697320561noreply@blogger.com
