Elliot has arrived.
Various quotes from Elliot´s first moments off the plane:
"So, I realized something was wrong when the lady in customs started talking to me very quickly and sternly in Spanish, and pointing to my passport.....who woulda guessed that passports expire.....I thought once you had a passport, you had it for life....So I was talking to these customs guys using mainly hand signals, broken Spanglish and charades...you shoulda seen how happy they were when I guessed the word "Embassy"
We will be going to the embassy on monday to negotiate Elliot remaining in the country (get him a new passport) it should work out ok.
