Finally, after 2 weeks, I am ready to sit down and write about my trip to the States.
As you know, I was going there to be at my friend’s wedding. She has left Moldova at the end of July and after a civil ceremony here, they planned to have a religious ceremony in DC. Because her household effects did not arrive in time, her wedding dress would not have arrived in time for the wedding, so my mission, as a Maid of Honour was to get a dress. Miraculously, I found a dress the day before I had to leave, so it worked out well. The dress was almost like hers, even I couldn’t see the difference. So, mission accomplished.

My friend has been in DC before and she knew the place already, so we did a lot of sightseeing, shopping. I got SEVEN pair of shoes plus one pair of slippers :). I had to borrow a suitcase from my friend, even though I came with one spare suitcase.
We had to spend a lot of time on the wedding and preparations, but I did manage to visit some places too: Baltimore and Fort McHenry,
