Capitalizing Things

If you were to say "Today is Friday, October tenth", would you say "Hoy es el viernes, diez de octubre." or... "Hoy es Viernes, Octubre décimo?"
Would it be correct to capitalize the days of the week and the months in Spanish?

Julian, as he normally does, has it right. To add to that, in Spanish proper names for people, cities, states and countries are capitalized. Abbreviations of titles such as Dr. and Sr. are capitalized but strangely, the titles are not capitalized when they are spelled out. Countries are capitalized but the languages spoken there are not. The first word of a title a for a book, movie, etc. is capitalized.

"Hoy es viernes, el diez de octubre."
Days and months are only capitalized when they start a sentence.
