Tired of the cold, we were in search of sand and sun, with a little detour. Garry,being the war junky that he is, really wanted to visit the Vietnam war site of Kha Sahn. We visited the museum which had many interesting facts about the war and the siege of Kha Sahn. I was ashamed, after having visited this area as well as the Vinh Moc tunnels. The museum showed a picture of the fishing village before and after the U.S. bombings. The devastation was powerful. It is a surreal experience to be here and visit these places after growing up hearing about the war. After seeing the land and the people who live "in" it everyday, we never stood a chance. The whole country seems to be a dense jungle. Next stop, Nha Trang.
