Hmong Mating Season in Laos

Hmong Mating Season in Laos

Cliff and I have traveled from Vientiane to Luang Prabang in north central Laos. Designated a World Heritage Site in 1995, this town has some of the most well preserved architectural, religious, and cultural locales that have been developed over several centuries. No trip to this area would be complete without visiting the neighboring Hmong village where we're headed today.

The Vietnamese Perspective on the American War

I was a teenager in the 1960s, a tumultuous decade characterized by the assassinations of JFK, Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King. There was the March on Selma and the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. Who can forget Woodstock? And then there was the War in Vietnam.
