Surprise trip to Washington D.C! The Ecuadorian Embassy is there, so the church sent word that we would need to fly out there to deliver top secret info and sign some paperwork.

Four planes in 24 hours.

Vegas 11:30p > Atlanta GA 6:07a (in Atlanta I met up with 5 others)

Atlanta 7:20a > Washington D.C 9:02a (where we met up with the last two)

6, plus 2 more stragglers who joined us while we waited

Oh heeyyy, the white house

Washington monument

The church has got connections. This Jerusalem driver and slick ride took us to the embassy and back. Quickest mini-tour I've ever had. But we did see some sites in passing [captured above].

The guy at the embassy said, "This is going to take a whiiiile." So he told us to go get some lunch and roam around a bit.

Lunch at Black & Orange, more walking. Sitting at National Mall Park, Joan of Arc, checking out squirrels and nearby random statues, etc.

We decided too late to try to actually walk to something important...I wasn't too disappointed we didn't reach the Washington monument in time before needing to turn around again and head back to the consulate. But it would have been nice.

It was such a fun mini-trip. We totally passed.

The consulate guys were taken to me. But they mocked my false-confident knowledge of Ecuador. So funny.

Victorious VISA holders!! Woot woot.
