good to go

My visit to the Brazilian consulate went amazingly smooth today. Got there early, so I could be first in line. No one was waiting and they handed me my passport with the approved tourist visa inside! They even gave it to me before the "appointed" time! Thanks for praying! Looks like I am really going to Brazil. I leave August 15. I know I have confused everyone with my lingering and loitering around. :) More soon....
