Pi Mai Day 4

Day 4 of Pi Mai was a day that we needed to complete the full Pi Mai experience.  We walked into town to avoid car accidents and parking trouble much like the day before.  We found a spot on the main drag and watched the whole parade(yesterday we only caught the back end) go the opposite direction of the day before.  We decided to be more proactive in the water fighting arena and had a blast soaking people and eventually got into the back of a truck and joined one of the roving water gangs.  We ran out of water in our tub about 4 times and had to fill up at different spots.  One such spot was the Mekong river.  We were attacked as we rode around and got covered with flour, food coloring and black soot.  I think I still have some that I cant get out the next day.  Some people even threw ice cold water which had melted from their coolers which really was not very pleasant.  We made our rounds as the sun peeked behind the clouds but it was a lot of fun and we were some of the few foreigners in trucks.  They dropped us off at the library which has become somewhat of a home base.  When we had packed up the tuk tuk to head back home a rain hit the city and I was thinking how fitting it was that after this day of chaos a cleansing rain would wash everything away.
