We were coming home from a tourist spot this evening and saw all this music and dancing going on. I didn't know if it was a religious observance or what but I wanted to get a video (sorry for the quality, I was trying to be discreet and film while walking).
Then, when we were almost through this young guy (about our age) comes running up screaming at us. I was thinking 'uh-oh, now I'm in trouble'. Turns out it was his sister's wedding and he was so excited that two Americans walked by and he was begging us to join them for one minute. So, he throws us into the middle of a moving dance circle surrounded by people and horned instruments. We danced with them for a bit and then he pulls us out saying 'please one picture' to come join the bride and groom by their carriage. The crazy guy is the one in the second picture obviously. It was one of the funner experiences we've had here, and I kind of wish he had asked us to stay, because we would have.
The bride didn't seem too happy that her brother was parading us around and making a scene at her wedding. And I'm sure the husband was like 'what kind of family did I just marry into?' Cute kid on the carriage though.
Yes, those are sweat stains that he hugged us with afterwards.

crazy how cheap the haircut was. and about the monkeys. funny cause my kids would love to have a monkey and they would be tons of money here too.
that bride looks about 14.
as far as your bathroom experience, it was bound to happen...plus you didn't go to south america on your mission, so you are probably still 'green', right?
good luck.
We went to an Indian wedding this week but there was no Moriah and no Carl to dance for the bride and groom... too bad! Maybe it's because the bride didn't have any brothers to round up the Americans ;-)
