Denver Immigration and Customs

We land at Denver International Airport. Yelapa is watching the landing out of the window. It is amazing how calm she is while experiencing her first landing. Yelapa and I are the last to deplane. It is very busy, I found out later that 4 international flights arrived at the same time, and the line snaked forever. Yelapa was so patient standing in line, lost between all the legs around her, she would occasionally sit and other times lie down, to get up again when the line starts moving. The immigration officer stamps my passport in one minute, and we walk to the baggage claim. Once I have my bag, we are directed to the agricultural officer. He asks for Yelapa's health certificate and rabies immunization certificate. He looks these over and waves Yelapa and myself through. And, just like that, Yelapa enters the United States. She is officially Americana! - BassamRead more
