After most people arrive on Wednesday night, we'll head out for a casual dinner. Options - Broka, El Hidalguense, etc
10:00 am - 5:00 pm
We'll have a day exploring the historic central area of the city. Walk around, do some shopping, eat some food, go to a museum, whatever you're feeling. We're a big group, so people can join or leave as they feel, go see something interesting, etc. This will NOT be a "see every landmark death march". Some ideas listed below, but other things could include seeing the Palacio de Bellas Artes, a big park called Alameda Central, plenty of food places, etc.

Plenty of options for post-dinner activities. I've put down a jazz bar right next to the restaurant, but open to whatever feels right at the time. Other options include: Supra Roma Rooftop, Licorería Limantour, Café de Nadie, Baltra Bar
10:00 am - 3:00 pm
If you're interested, people can take a short trip (~20 minute drive) to an area called Coyoacan. It's a cool historic area of the city that nice plazas, parks, food, etc. There is also the Frida Kahlo Museum, which people can go to if interested, but we'd need to buy timed entry tickets likely at least a day or so ahead of time. Alternatively, could go to the Museo Anahuacalli (Diego Rivera's museum of a bunch of Pre-columbian artifacts). For lunch, there are a bunch of great places at the Coyoacan Market! People can go at the pace they'd like, rest up, do whatever you'd like. If you want to check out some other area, or take a nap, or read a book at a coffee shop, follow your heart! Alternatively, could spend some time around the Roma/Condesa area of the Airbnb. Parque Mexico is very nice, there are some great bookstore/coffee shops (Cafebrería El Péndulo Roma), restaraurants, thrift stores (Casa Ananda Vintage Boutique), record stores (Salvaje Music Store), whatever you want!
4:00 pm - 4:45 pm
We'll be running through some ceremony logistics, where to move furniture, making sure music works, checking video for Katie/Chad, etc.
5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
We're going to be doing some salsa on Saturday night, so thought it would be fun to give people an introduction ahead of time to get those dancing shoes warmed up!
6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Casual taco dinner at the Airbnb after/while we do some rehearsal/prep for the ceremony. We will be picking up tacos from both Taqueria El Jarocho and Por Siempre Vegana to get both meat and vegetarian options.

Couldn't skip out on lucha libre, so we're skipping the rehearsal dinner to focus on the important things.
