Suntanned in January, in Dali

January in Dali brought countless amaze to Xiao Yu since he comes from the colder place.

The same afternoon after we arrived Dali from Kunming, we went to drink tea. We were searching for the seats in the sun after 4 o’clock. Most of the seats were hidden in the shadow. Going left to one small alley, we saw surprisingly the seats shinning under the sun.

We were seated there, lifting the faces to the sun, the sunlight spreading over our bodies. Not in a long time we got heat coming underneath the skin.

We went to Mont. Cang. The air was quite chilly in the mountain’s morning. I asked Xiao Yu to walk fast to chase after the sun rays in front of us. Once we went out from the shadow to the bright spots, the bodies got warmth immediately. I preferred to stay in the sun much more time and we picked up one stone seat to expose ourselves to the sun, even our feet did not want to hide in the shoes either. We took them out and enjoyed the sun bath together.

One day’s cycling let us become even suntanned. I took the pictures of Xiao Yu’s redness on the neck, the forehead and the arms. I was much better from red, because I got deep tanned just skipping becoming red. Our T-shirts were in the sun dust too. They looked yellow on the front. We could not help laughing and let us with those sun-dusted T-shirts together in the pictures, into our memories on Dali too.
