Xizhou (喜州) a little village near Dali. Jeremy and Beth explored here without me, because I had a fever. They visited this gentleman, whose once beautiful home was falling apart because he lost his fortune during the cultural revolution.
Here is another picture of his home.
Here are his cats.
Here is another picture of the owner of the house. He is now a Christian (see the cross behind him).
