| Notes: Today was an amazing day in Dali. It's beautiful here. The altitude is up around 6200 ft, so it's cool here, comparatively speaking. We visited a village on the outskirts of the old town today, where the Bai people live. They have a market there, and we had a great time exploring. The people are amazing, and it's quite a rich culture. The film crew is very pleased with the footage they shot today. Tonight, most of the crew had fun hanging out down town. (N.O.) | ||
