Journey to Houston

In order to get my visa to stay in France for more than 3 months, I had to go to Houston to apply for it. I had to go in person. My mom wanted to go with me so we left thursday night, stayed at a hotel about half way there, and then drove the rest of the way Friday morning. We left the hotel about 1.5 hours early in order to make sure we would get there in time for my appointment at 11am. We sat in traffic for about 1.5 hours. I ended up being 15 mins late to my appointment, but they still took me in. I sat in the waiting room for 20 minutes, did the interview process for 10 minutes, and then we left. It was that easy. Almost not worth the drive since I was only in the French Consulate for 30 minutes.
We found a small french cafe across the street from the consulate for lunch. It was adorable! Spinach Quiche and Tomato Basil soup for the both of us!
