After a full day at the embassy, I have received my visa! Words cannot possibly express my joy right now in finishing this process. It's strange that tomorrow morning I will NOT be asking myself if the visa will come...that day...or that week...or the next week. We have been asking those questions daily for months.
As soon as I get settled, I'll post my "Things to do in London" part 2 from my last five weeks here by myself.
Until then, know that we are together again in North Africa, working hard in teaching, enjoying our mint tea and tile floors, and taking pleasure in our new pad.
