Museum is a harsh and hard to take reminder of recent history on both sides of the battle. Fortunately buddhism teaches not to dwell in the past, but concentrate on the present.
Makes me happy I have chosen the five precepts if the locals can move forward and accept foreigners so easily for what is recent history, or even this lifetime for some.

Local Village
Just stopped at a village for a rest and
I think everyone came along to say hello
Climbing toward Laos
Hornet Wine with the locals
Not kidding - real bees
The Hornet Wine (stagnant water) on the table is STRONG alcohol.
Fun night hanging with locals though.
For once I had to be organised so ended up with a small convoy
my bike, guides bike, mechanics bike, spare bike & the jeep to store everything in and for non-riding family. Had to stop every hour for everyone to catch up!!!

Village Elder - Wasnt sure of her own age
Near Laos border
Cars and trucks came down this road too... quickly!
Marble Mountain
My Son - Great to Visit
Took me 90 mins to get there, 35 minutes back. Moral of the story...
Dont hire a scooter and leave in a monsoon for a place you dont know where it is and you dont have a map... Actually do do it - it fun exploring

On the way to My Son
Dont think this is the main road any longer <g>

All through the smaller roads and villages kids want hi fives and photos as you ride along. VERY friendly
HCMC - I swapped with my driver so I rode and he was the passenger. All went well till we hit a major intersection and I forgot they are on the opposite side of the road. 100 + bikes, cars and trucks coming straight at us was a good lesson!!!!
