Today we went to DC to get our student visas. We were expecting a long line, but it appears that the outsourced visa company does a more efficient job than the embassy at accepting visa applications. Unfortunately they do a less than speedy processing of visa applications, and so we were told to expect to return to receive our visas in several days rather than the end of the day. From here Sara, Jess, Cat, Ingrid and I decided to go out to brunch. It was probably the most satisfying brunch I've had in a long time.
Afterwards Sara, Jess, and I went to the Air and Space Museum on the mall. I don't think I've ever been to the ASM but I did enjoy it. I was expecting it to be boring but we found ways to enjoy ourselves. This poor astronaut had his teats pinched by Sara as he was taking a shower. We decided that he looks like Vince Vaughn. We also saw a headless, handless astronaut named "Scott."We walked around and saw a early model of our solar system. I happen to like how it looks, but I was saddened by the absence of Neptune, my favorite planet.
I still have much to do before leaving for India, but hopefully the visa part is complete.
