Friday and Saturday we visited Hue (a major battle area in the "American War") - just south of the DMZ. This is where the Vietnamese declared independence from China and set up an Imperial City in the very early 1800's. There has been some resoration (by UNESCO) in the past decade or so, but much more needs to be done.
