Off to the Spanish Consulate

[Brian]

On Thursday, we're heading off to the Spanish Consulate in Chicago (http://www.consulate-spain-chicago.com/) (6 hours driving) to make application for Spanish passports for my wife and children. It's quite amazing the legal hoops that we've had to to jump through even to get to this point.

Apparently, they've given automatic residency to spouses of Spanish citizens without requiring a visa, beginning this year. At least that's one piece of red tape that we can skip. :)

While we're in Chicago, we're going to check out Café Iberico (http://www.cafeiberico.com/), which seems to be the best Spanish restaurant in Chicago.

Might have to check out that resturant next time I am in Chicago, let me know how it is

Have a great trip!

I've been looking at the menu and they seem to have lots of variety.
Have a great time and enjoy the meal!

Thanks! I'm hoping that they're as good as advertised. We were a little spoiled when we lived in Texas, as there was a Consulate in the town where we lived, as well as several good Spanish restaurants.

It'll be a bit more driving now, but well worth it! :)
