Updates

This morning Susan and I went to meet with the lawyer about extending our visas, and after a bit of confusion, it appears to be in process. We were told that it should be complete by Friday, so if we do not hear from them by Friday, I will be calling for a status report.

One interesting note was that we had to go get two passport photos each for our applications, and they referred us to a Fuji store about a block away. At the store we told them that we needed two passport photos, and they took them, telling us that the cost would be $3 for each of us. And when we picked up the pictures 20 minutes later, they did indeed charge us $3 each, but they gave us 8 photos each, so if we need other passport photos, we are now set.

The only other thing I will mention tonight is that we have not had any power outages yet this week. We hope that this continues, as it is really annoying to cope with them. We have had some bit of rain recently, so maybe we are out of outages for a while, so to speak.
