Grand Turk

After a long day in the sun, we decided to take a break and sit down to eat in Grand Turk. This was about the 5th Margaritaville we visited in the last week and my sister was a bit tired of the menu, holding her head in anguish.

Dong Ha Kids

I took this photograph in the course of a trip back to Vietnam in 2002. The children shown live on the site of the former U.S. Marine base in Dong Ha. No trace of that base now remains, and these kids live in peace with no knowledge of the war that ravaged their country.
