Best thing since the Onion

Tuesday, December 20th, 2005

Slavek (Przemyslaw, my brother) has decided to start an online publication. I nominate it as a worthy link of the week.

DaLeek

I wanted to give a little excerpt on its mission or content but since Slavek decided not to restrict himself in that way, I think the best way for you to experience the daleek is to see it for yourself. It’s pure silliness.

Barcelona Wedding

Wednesday, December 7th, 2005

Mara and I had the pleasure of attending Ketan and Berta’s wedding in Barcelona on November 17th. The wedding took place at the Barcelona City Hall in the La Plaça Sant Jaume.

Aside from me getting into a little trouble everything was great. As you can see, I thought that it was customary in Spain for the guests to kiss the bride at the reception. I guess I was wrong.

We conveniently stayed across the street from Ketan’s apartment and then we rented a temporary apartment for accommodation in Barcelona. Pictures and stories from the celebration of the week long wedding to come.
