April 6 0800 VN Time

After missing our stop in Dong Ha and ending up in Dong Hoi, we had to take a suicide van back down to Dong Ha. That was yesterday.  Today is Nhi Ha with a South Vietnamese Army veteran/guide.  They're building a monument to the May 6 battle in which Captain Tha commanded the NVA force. It looks like we'll be here a couple more nights in Dong Ha, then head south. That's it for now…
