The Yin and the Yang
















We made our way to Dali today. Every trip has its high and low points. Today's "cruise tour" on Erhai Lake was--interesting. We were all extremely tired, it was raining, and our stop at an "island" was quite odd. However, we visited a Butterfly Spring and it was beautiful. We also visited a place that specializes in making Batik fabrics. In the afternoon, we toured the site of the Three Elegant Pagodas, which was also home to a newly-built Buddhist Temple. At night, a few of us walked the streets of Dali, to see the nightlife. It was still a little rainy, so we didn't stay long. We also felt like we were walking in a "shady" area, so we returned to the hotel pretty quickly.
