Flower Parade

Dear Friends,

We decided to stick around Chiang Mai for the flower festival.  It was a fascinating street fair for 2 days.  The big event was the parade on Saturday morning. It was the LONGEST parade we had ever seen.  Yes, there were a lot of flower floats, marching bands and Thais dressed in their regional dress. However, the never ending parade was due to the traffic that would cut in and the participants in the parade stopping for water/bathroom breaks.  We finally decided that it would be faster for us to walk to the end of the parade instead of waiting for it to pass by us.

Love,
H & B
