Spain's bureaucracy does not rock my socks

So.  The last we had heard, Pollito's papers were in limbo between Lima and the Spanish Ministry of Justice.

Because the Spanish work so few hours, he could never get a hold of them.  We were both worried that we had lost the papers.  Or rather, Spain had lost them.

Pollito stayed up until the wee hours of the morning last week to find out what was going on with his paperwork.  He finally got a hold of the people and they told him that his papers were sent out on the 28 of May.  OF MAY.

But, since they forgot to complete the address, it was returned to them.  When the sent the papers back to Peru the address they used was basically akin to saying "John Doe, 1st Street. California, United States."  No wonder it got sent back.  But I guess we should be glad that it got sent back and not opened or left someplace to rot.

So when Pollito called Spain, he corrected his address and they should have sent the papers over by the end of last week.  Lets hope they arrive this time!
