Saturday is Wedding Day in Arusha

Saturday seems to be the day for weddings here. You know that a wedding party is passing by not from honking horns, but from the brass band. All over town today, we saw convoys of decorated cars which were following a pickup with a band in the back. It's like a mobile party, and easily one of the coolest things I've seen yet in this country.

You can hear the bands from several blocks away, and it really adds a festive note to Saturday.

The beautiful garden here in the Equator Hotel seem to be a favorite place to take pictures, so we've been hearing bands all afternoon. Cool.
