Oh my goodness! What a wonderful afternoon Dave and I just had. It was like a field trip. Can you guess what we did? No, no! If it was that I don't think I could really write about it without being booted from Blogspot :-)
We actually went up to the French Consulate in San Francisco to get our Visa's. And it was so much fun! The woman that was helping us was so helpful and kind. I couldn't believe it! She took all our paperwork, teased us about our French, and was helpful. Can you imagine? Going to a consulate and being treated really well? Unheard of! But actually, I had heard that for Europeans, many of them just need to get a visa for any country in the European Union, so most of them choose to go to the French consulate because they are so great to work with. I gotta tell you, I didn't believe that. But now I'm a believer. Oh yes, and for those of you who are wondering, everyone in the consulate was very good looking. Another piece of their reputation they definitely lived up to.
The weather was stunning in San Francisco today so after the visit to the consulate, Dave and I took a stroll down to an adorable cafe and I had a mocha and almond coissant. This mocha was a strong one with fabulous cocoa in it. And everyone around us was speaking a different language. It felt like we were in a different country. It was a fabulous little vacation, in one quick afternoon. Mmmmmm....I need more afternoons like that. Dave and I haven't been able to stop smiling since. It certainly helps that this trip made our impending move so much more real. We are so excited about it. So excited that things are finally happening. I've been so stressed out about so much with regards to this move, this was a wonderful relaxing way to enjoy part of the experience. Yeah!!!!!
