War Remnants Museum
Formerly known as the War Crimes Museum, it showcases the Vietnam War from the Vietnamese perspective, that of the winners.
It's an imposing block of a building, surrounded by captured US equipment.

That looks kinda sharp...
Touring the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, we came upon an old guillotine from the French colonial period. Kind of makes you wonder (morbidly) what it would be like to be laid down on there...I'm pretty sure I'd be unable to come up with some suitably droll, sarcastic, or brave last words.

Nearly Killed by a Little Red Car - Haiti, 1995
Story written 13 July 2008
While serving with UN forces in Haiti in 1995, Dave has a near death encounter with a little red car.
Enroute to Hospital
We drove behind an obviously sick woman in the back of a pickup truck for several miles before finding a safe place to overtake them.

Market Street
In some towns, it seemed like the entire street was one market. We had to be extremely careful not to hurt anyone, lest we cause an international incident.

Currently in Texas.
I am a distant descendant of one of Lewis and Clark's men, so my love of travel is probably genetic. My goal of yearly international travel has been helped considerably by my work, which has allowed me to live in such places as Egypt, Somalia, Haiti, Saudi Arabia, and most recently, Japan. I never travel without a camera, and consider it my second most important traveling companion, after my wife, Melody.
