It’s a trying process–applying for visas

Good grief! Applying online for visas is totally frustrating. The websites are so fussy. It took us two days of scanning and rescanning documents to upload to the Brazilian and Bolivian embassies, the Brazilian embassy being the most sensitive. They have not less than 1 gazillion strict rules to follow. Totally exhausting. Now we have to put our passports in the mail and hope for the best–like that the person who opens the envelope has had a morning coffee and thinks the world is a wonderful place and loves her or his job. Thant would be a good start.
