The detour

So we head out to drive to the doctor's office this morning (on an empty stomach so we can have some bloodwork done). As we approach the road that will take us in front of the office, there is a barracade and a policeman directing traffic to go left. Beyond the barracade we can see what looks like people and vehicles gathering...... this must be an early Chinese New Year Parade.
Now we are in bumper to bumper traffic with motorcycles weaving in and out between all the bumpers. At times the only things moving or the motorcycles and those walking!!! We snake our way up and down streets, all part of our own parade of vehicles..... about 2 hours later, We make a new plan. Let's eat breakfast!!
With great difficulty, we make our way to a place we can park, and walk back up the street to the restaurant. we sit out on the deck and can see and hear the parade crossing over the bridge.
Back out in the truck once more, we start the trek to go home. We take a right turn..... and we find ourselves "doomed" to one way streets with NO ESCAPE, and must drive right through the heart of Chinatown with everyone else. About 2 hours later, I am dropped off at my frontdoor, and sydney calls out.... "We'll try going to the doctor's office tomorrow!" and they drive off. What can I say...just another day in Thailand!
(but I did get great photos, and my advise to you...when you think you see a parade forming, forget what you had planned to do, park the car and watch the parade! hahaha!)
