Red Tape and Sushi

Remember the movie "What About Bob"? Well, we are making "baby steps" down the bureaucratic road to get the my diploma released from the university. Kemmel says we should eligible for membership in the Paper Pushers Association of Guatemala. We were sent from office to office with copies of letters with "Date received" stamped by each department that has processed the application. There was a snag in the process when someone decided to put Doctora en Medicina on my diploma, which doesn't really count here. Doctors are called "Medico y Cirujano" or Physician and Surgeon. So they sent it back and I am now approved to be incorporated into the system as a Medica y Cirujana. I am even referred to as senorita Lisa Dunham! So, now we are waiting "approximately 2-3 weeks" to get the latest later recognized by the registrars office so they can print the diploma............ Here are some pictures of all the students who got to stand in lines today to register for classes.

On an upnote we found the olympic sized pool at the university and Kemmel got in a good swim while I walked laps at the track. We also rewarded ourselves with sushi at our favorite hole in the wall. Great!

Oh Kiku Restaurant--Yummy!
