No Pants No Service

Over the weekend my tourist visa expired. Now you would think that getting a new one would be easy to obtain. But this is Bolivia, where things do not come easy. I have two options. One is to leave the country and come back in for a one month tourist visa or pay for a student visa. The student visa can be obtained with the right papers, which I can get from Nur. Anyhow, today I went to Nur to get the papers I needed and headed over to immigration. When I got to immigration I go up to the guard to let me in the building. But he doesn't let me in! He points to a sign saying people aren't allowed into the immigration who have shorts or sandals on, both of which I had on. Luckily I see Daniella who was getting her ID and I she took in the papers for me. But even then I had a problem because I was missing a paper saying what I was studying during my time here. So tomorrow I have to get the other paper tomorrow and try again. Next time though, I am wearing pants.

Does everyone include Mr. Free Tourist Visa? I would love to meet him. I mean it is crazy that I have to deal with so much paper work for one stamp. I wonder if I could make the stamp? That could be sold here! By the way, who is LLM? Pardon my ignorance.

Well I had to kill Kurtz. He knew too much and too many. Compromised the mission.

Josh and Bargo, I love and miss you both! Although I do lean more toward Bargo, given all the intimate times. They were sweet indeed.
