Wow!!! Congrats! We were just there this morning and it was a MESS. The translators (several) mentioned it was the worst they'd ever seen it--only one window open, calling people out of order, some people just walked up to the window and were served without being called! It was totally nuts. We got there around 6:50 but woke up at 4:45. We went inside and waited and waited and by 10:00 Jorge was EXHAUSTED. I rocked him in my arms and he fell asleep; transferred him to a sling and he slept; bumped his bottle and he woke up SREAMING and screamed for 10 minutes and random people were coming up telling me how to parent (um, thanks, but even though I BARELY know him, I do know him better than total strangers and fairly well thanks to many visits and loads and loads of interaction with FF--he was TIRED and needed to SLEEP not play... Ok, I could rant about this waaaay too long). Anyhow, he was screaming and I was trying to get him back to sleep and finally they came over the speaker and said "would the parents of the crying baby please leave for awhile?" MORTIFYING! So we step outside and and a few people came out to instruct me on how to take care of my son (Garugh! I have a 3 year old and I have taken care of him for several weeks now off and on--I know his tired cues adn he was throwing them all out there) and then the gaurd from OUTSIDE came up and told us we had to go back INSIDE so...holy schmoly was it lousy.

We finally got out of there around 11:30. We were supposed to be #14 and probably were about the 14th people served once we were called but the 13 or so before us were NOT in order--as clearly evidenced by the families #8 adn #5 that were still there waiting when we left.
