little draha gone wrong

my alarm wakes me up at 5am. i go to the bathroom, brush my teeth, put some clean clothes on, and blow my nose a thousand times. the three of us walk out our apt door, down 83 steps, and walk through the 40 degrees to tram 17. we get off and take our time to find our way to the metro to meet our lawyer, drahamira.

we arrive around 6:05, 5 minutes late, and there she is, waiting on the other side of the platform of the train. we walk underground to get to her. she says "my car is litt-ul because i am litt-ul". oh little draha stands about 4 foot 10 inches. we head to bratislava, slovakia. it took about 3 hours. we arrive at the embassy to find out that draha did not make appointments for us to apply for our visas. ugh. she argues to try and get us in, but it just wasn't happening. you could tell she felt bad. we assumed she had made appointments. now what? today is our 89th day here, and you can only stay up to 90 days without a visa. 

well, we're all hungry by now. it's about 11am and we go to a brazilian restaurant called rio. it was nice. she paid for our lunches cause she felt bad for messing up. we walked around the center for a few minutes in the drizzling rain... then headed back to prague. she found out she could only make appointments between the hours of 1 and 2, so at 12:58 she called and they turned her down. she giggled in embarrassment and then called a couple minutes later. she got an appointment on november 10th and told us she could go without us this time as long as we give her our passports and permission. phew, let's see how this will work. apparently she is going to fib and say we were in london with her which gains us a few extra days on our stay in the "shengen zone". i have no idea if that will work or not, but i just hope when she goes that we will get our visas without getting in trouble or whatever.

so, our day consisted of being in another country for approximately 2 hours. 

fun.
