Wednesday July 9

We met Judith today who took us to an office that we were at the day before. We had to go back today as yesterday we got there after it was closed. Now we were told that I need another paper saying that I want the ID changed, along with all the other papers (showing that I’ve been married, etc.).

(This is part of the view from the balcony where we had our wedding.)

All this stupid government paperwork which serves no purpose.

Since by law I have to change my ID from one that says that I’m single to one that says I’m married – why do they need a letter that says ‘I want it’!?#

I’ll have to get my lawyer write up a letter and ask her to ask the judge if he registered the marriage. We won’t see her until Friday.

Looks like we have a day off from going into Quito – which is good. I don’t like the pollution and the congestion there.

Jayne and I went to a mall for me to buy an extra battery for my DVD camera. In this mall is the only place that sells batteries for Sony cameras.
