This blog is supposed to be among other things, as Katie always says "...Something fun to do," me in the other side, I see this blog as another "important" thing to do... like find a church, find a place for the reception, plan the menu, meet with the catering, look all over the great DC area in the quest for THE best bargain for booze, check the dress (Katie's dress, not mine...), make appointments with immigration lawyers, doctors and also with the counterpart of my work colleagues, the very best and finest DC's bureaucrats . . . En fin . . .
But here I'm complaining but keep writing, and thinking over and over again "this is fun"...And guess what??? .... It's indeed, FUN!!!
Let's start taking something off from the procrastination-list-to-do, and put it instead on the taking-and-showing-the-initiative-list.
So, let's be optimistic... Let's hope that planning a wedding is not going to be a stressful task and instead is going to be a journey to discover all the good things that made me fall in love with Katie in the first place, and why not, discover through the bad and uncertain the emotional "glue" that makes us perfect for each other...
And let's try to make this blog a window for all of you, dear readers and surfers, an easy access to a bunch of information about the upcoming event...
Y para aquellos que no hablan mucho o no leen ingles, of course, va a haber la spanish version de este blog, escrito por Katie...
Asi mama, papa, familia y amigos esten enterados como la estamos pasando con este pequeño asunto de la boda...

Fun Things to Do in DC
We'll keep this here for a while- still a good list of things to d and see in DC.
As many of you know, there are many memorials, landmarks, large marble buildings, and museums, and of course, great places to eat!!
For more extensive suggestions and reviews, visit TripAdvisor.com, but here's some highlights: D.C. is home to plenty of tour companies. The D.C. Ducks takes visitors past major landmarks and then into the Potomac River for a waterside view. There's also the Tour Mobile, which shuttles visitors between sites including the Washington Monument, Arlington Cemetery, the White House, the Capitol, the Supreme Court and the Smithsonian museums along the National Mall. Another alternative is to see the city's sites on a segway or bike tour. Many of these sites, as well as the National Zoo and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, are also accessible via Metro. While most major attractions in D.C. are free, like the great city view from the Old Post Office Pavilion, many do require tickets for entry, and information on how to get tickets is usually listed on their web sites. One of our favorite local sites is the
In addition to all the amazing sites to see above, we have included a few more of our favorite places: Hains Point Park, the FDR Memorial, located near the Tidal Basin, Dupont Circle (great place to hang out and people watch), E Street Cinema (first-run independent and foreign language films), Eastern Market (the last of Washington's 19th century markets to remain in continuous operation.), and the Capital City Market (Washington's wholesale and retail warehouse hub for fruits, vegetables, meat and poultry).

Hungry? You can check out reviews here (The Washington Post Dining Guide) and here (DC Foodies), and make reservations here. You can also head to our favorite bistrot (Bistrot du Coin), pizza place (2 Amys), place for mojitos and latin tunes (Citron), mediterranean tapas (Zaytinya), fish and chips (Eamonn's and PX, an awesome speakeasy upstairs), and fancy fancy places (Citronelle and CityZen).... YUM!!
