Dong Hoi to Dong Ha, 64.2mi

Another cool day with a little less traffic. We had a visitor while stopping for drinks today.

Hard to tell which dogs are strays since they just go about on their own and seem pretty much ignored by people. We've seen signs advertising cats and dogs as food which may explain the disconnection. We have seen tons of these signs around. We wish we knew what they said.

Dong Ha is a town right on the Ben Hai River, the border around which the DMZ was formed. Today there are tours around the area, and many monuments honoring the North Vietnamese soldiers and their victory.

We met a man named Ting in town, who was very excited when we told him we were American. He said his father was a lieutenant for the South Vietnamese Army during the war, and had many American friends. He spoke candidly for a while with us about which side of the conflict he was on. Very interesting.

    tried to help with that sign by using a vietnam dictionary but the words we came up with made no sense sorry. Great pics again

      Thanks for trying it out. Even with the Vietnamese keyboard setting on the phones it still translates into gibberish. Basically it's national pride stuff.
