We didn’t start to leave until a few days after everyone elae left because we were waiting for the time the government told us to leave. We left early anjrway because things were getting really hot. We would have been evacuated in a few days but we left anyway. Someone had shot all four of our tires an our car and they were all flat. We had to leave Laos now, so we got new tires and had to leave Laos on a truck ferry because we missed the car ferry. We crossed the river for the last time.
