Short, unexpected trip to Dali, Yunnan. We only stayed there a day and then got standing tickets to Lijiang (next post). Loved the street clothes, textures, textiles and colors, not to mention the beautiful views from the mountain. I somehow messed up the settings on my camera and took all low res shots :`( which I am more than bummed about because I can never make prints of these.
Anyway, you can still have a taste :)
