Dali but no Lama

Today I arrived in Dali. A land of many people. The Erhai Lake welcomed me. The lake feeds the grass here so it grows very large indeed! Look! I felt like Honey I shrunk the Kids! The locals were a bit strange, and the hotel was a little "over the top" but all in all it made for a wonderful adventure. This city will be hard to forget, just like this local outfit I was talked into buying!

I feel like I've grown a little inside. Forced growth, but growth nonetheless. Traveling through the backside of China with no plan or map will do that. :-) But I can say with a straight face that I'm better for it. Cheers, Dali.
