three hrs until bus time

I have been "forced" to drink several beers.  but that is not my excuse.  I think this is the first time I can say... not ready to come home.  I am ready to go to the beach.. but my pockets are not full.   The last days in BKK have been as they should be.  We got fleeced by a tuk tuk driver.. who wanted to take us to a gem shop, a silk shop, a carpet shop, another gem shop... we said no to the carpet and then NO NO to the second gem.. and found another tuk home.    A good dinner in the place Page and I liked..  but first... we started the day with an oil massage and then a tuk to Duriet museum.  We know the Red shirts were out since we could not buy a bus ticket... they have taken over the airport... oh well ....so we went to the royal museum and found that we were again in the midst of the protest.. this time.. the Assembly of the poor...   when I asked to take a pic of the sign, they offered rice... go figure.  In the communist county.. they keep what they have.. in this country.. the share what they have.  The museum was very interesting.  Then we went with a tuk tuk driver to several important Buddhas only to find that we were taken to one and then to be taken to several fleece the tourist places... we went to one.. stepped not another and the then... we were out of there...    We are not sure we will get home tonight since the red shirts were on their way to take over the airport.. oh well.. might have to say another month... we are prepared to sacrifice to do that.... :)
We had a great dinner and  2 beer.. and then a great watch Kroad... and 2 beer... and now... 7:45 and one more foot massage... wiill I make it home?
