Welcome to our blog!

Welcome to Mari and Andrew's wedding blog. If you've found your way here, we hope that means that you can come to the wedding and help us all celebrate this important time in our lives.

Since we have only partial control over this blog due to some software constraints, we thought we'd give you some navigation tips. In addition to this overview, there are four postings:

1. Maps of Los Alamos: how to get here and how to get around once you're nearby
   
2. Los Alamos Area Lodgings: includes 3 motels/inns where we've reserved blocks of rooms plus descriptions of other options
   
3. Things to do in the Santa Ynez Area: check out recommended drives, wine tasting, walks, beaches, shopping, and more
   
4. Where to eat in and around Los Alamos: there are lots of choices, but we've indicated some of our favorites
   

You can see these posts by scrolling down or by clicking the page title you wish in the numbered list above. If you can't see them in either of these ways, click on the "July 2006" link in the "Archives" section on the left and, hopefully, that will show you a clickable list of all of the postings.

If you're looking for gift ideas Mari and Andy are registered at both Crate & Barrel and REI. Connections to the registry websites can be found in the "Links" section at the left. In addition, there are links there to Los Alamos valley weather, and Mari's and Andrew's Samoan journey blogs.

If you have trouble reading this blog due to a strange effect of the background, please try another web browser or computer or contact Rudi (rcberkel@gmail.com) for help. Sometimes weird things seem to happen and the Samoan fabric forgets to stay in the background...

Enjoy; we hope to see you soon in Los Alamos!
