Mr.Caballero goes to Washington

Juan entered the US on Halloween, October 31st, and look at him now!

It was a bit of a journey-- two full days in Ciudad Juarez taking care of details (medical exam, interview at the Consulate) and two full hours crossing the border at El Paso (the US Border police were humorless but efficient). All in all, the whole thing went VERY smoothly.

My parents met us in El Paso and we drove to Santa Fe for a couple of days of R&R. This included a lovely day of lunch (a men's lunch and a women's lunch!) with friends who helped us celebrate Juan's arrival and our upcoming wedding.

We returned to DC on November 4, and after just four weeks, Juan is already singing in a choir, learning his parts for a theater project called the "ESL Living Collage" (more on that later), and gaining mastery of the DC Metro system. Oh-- and he's become a master Raker of Leaves, it being fall and all. More soon!
