Waiting in a climate controlled lawyers office downtown where I can sit comfortably and read in silence is preferred over the alternative. I am making yet another trip down to Doctor Herbas on Jordan street. This is what he needs at this stage:
- Our police reports
- Photocopies of our police reports
- Photocopies of our passports
- Photocopies of our rent contract
- Photocopies of our last paid light and water receipt
- Photocopies of our missionary certificate
I drop those things off in an hour. After all those are filed in the right offices we will then be making a trip down to INTERPOL to get our international criminal report. We have done this before for other legal processes. I will bite my tongue and not comment on the appearance nor the proficiency of that office. I will just say it is not like in the movies.

Angie, I have been to Bolivia, I have seen how they drive. you would think that if people have to go through so much to get a drivers licence they would drive more carefully. Strange. Here you just need to be 16 and there you go, you can drive. Good luck at INTERPOL
Any possibility of concealing a video camera in your sunglasses and taking us on a tour of said INTERPOL office? hehe. Well, being INTERPOL they may not take too kindly to you taping them surreptitiously. So maybe not. A microphone in your lapel pin? Uh. But then it’d all be in Spanish. We might not get it. Of course, that’d be the same problem with a video tape. Hm. I’m shooting my own ideas down!
In my mind now I have all this fabulous spy soundtrack songs playing in my head…a little James Bond, Pink Panther, and Mission Impossible!
Let us know how this mystery unfolds!!
that is funny — i totally thought of movies too when you mentioned INTERPOL! have fun and think criminal-free thoughts!
what’s a “missionary certificate”?
