OCTOBER 5, 2012
 |
| The road turned into a dirt road |
By the turn around point of my
morning run I knew Ulcinj would not be the quick overnight stop it was
originally intended to be. The water was
too blue, the trails were just right, and the prices were all to cheap.
 |
| and the dirt road turned into rocky single track |
Throughout my travels, I
maintained normal operation of the coaching business. This time of year my number of clients drop
and the clients still on board have very few races that require my extra
attention. Essentially, I can get my job
done in about two work days per week. I
used to the next two days in town as work days, while sprinkling in a good bit
of swimming, yoga, and trail running along the coast.
 |
| The cabana on the right turned into my own yoga studio |
This place appeared to have all
the potential of a seaside tourist trap with vibrant night life. Now, in October, the single track trail that
followed the coastline south of town was empty for me to run, the protected
bays were my own personal open water swimming pools, and seas front villas in the
abandoned night clubs were my personal yoga studios.
Other travelers have described
“getting stuck” for reasons other than logistics in a city they intended to
visit only briefly. This could easily
been one of those cities for me.
 |
| My guest house was 20 euro per night and 50 meters from the ocean. |
 |
| Another beach all to myself. Who wants to spend a week on the beach when it only gets to 80 degrees everyday? |
 |
| Stari Grad, or Old Town, up on the hill above the main beach |
 |
| In the US we pay $1/ouch of pomegranate. Here it is dying on the trees by the grove. |
 |
| The evening prayers at the Mosque were heard in almost every city I traveled. |

| Random cat. Sharing my table at the bar. |
