Natalie Goes to the Lawyer

Glenn and I took Natalie downtown to the lawyer's office for her to check about the process of getting a permanent visa.

(I guess if you were not hungry for a Hamburger, you could always get some fresh oranges and plums before going into McDonalds!)

As we drove downtown, we gave Natalie "pointers and landmarks" for her to know the way to get there again.  The mission has been using Betty for years.  Her office is downtown, next to the McDonalds in Zone 4.  So, Glenn parks the car in the parking lot and we buy an egg McMuffin so we can legitimately park at McDonald's, since Betty doesn't have any parking for her clients.

Ready or not, here we come!

Glenn shows her exactly how to buzz in.

Not sure if she wanted to go behind the bars!

And she makes it out alive!

In conclusion

• 1 hour of traffic going to the lawyer's office
• Purchase McMuffin and yogurt at McDonald's to "pay for parking"
• Navigated our way through the locks and doors to Betty's office
• Sat in the hallway for 1/2 hour until Betty was ready - not too bad
• Natalie made a decision to wait until next year to process it, if at all, because of several factors such as name change of mission, email address change, etc
• Stopped off at PriceSmart (your local Sam's Club) to check on new tires for Natalie's 4Runner/Community Bus/"Janet"
• 1 1/2 hours back to the house
• I would say it was a successful day, although we didn't get to cross everything off the list
