IT'S A DONE DEAL!
Just in time for Mother's day here in Guatemala (tomorrow.) :)
We spent last night at the San Carlos in Guatemala City, where we have had our last 2 visit trips. It is 2 blocks from the American embassy so we simply walked to our appointment this morning at 7:15 to get the final OK to bring Julian home. It took 2 hours, Julian was a zombie from being awakened 2 hours before he usually gets up (on top of another not so great night of sleep...stuffy nose, fussy...teeth?) but we made it. The process was pretty simple. Wait here, go to this window, wait again, go to another window, sign this, come back tomorrow to pick up his Visa. When he sets foot on US soil he will be an American citizen.

whoah, i'm tippin over
You're not allowed to photograph the embassy from any direction so we have no photos of the process, but some pics from before and after.
Getting to Antigua
We had the opportunity last night to have dinner with Lucas and his parents. Lucus is the little boy that Julian lived with at his foster home. They live in Madison WI and we had lots of chatting to do about organic this and organic that. It was great.

After our appt we drove back to Antigua to spend our last few days before heading home on Saturday. Here are also some photos of the Antigua tour I did yesterday am before we left for GCity. It was very informative. Hopefully Jon will have time to do it tomorrow or Friday.
