Touring Isabela

August 3, 2017 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
I ran from our hotel in roundabout loops in Isabela up to the boardwalk through the flamingo breeding area to the turtle reserve then back through the flamingo area. The boardwalk trail is gorgeous-- lots of undulating volcanic rock in the distance foregrounded by pretty swamps with hot pink flocks of flamingos. Decided to tack on an out-and-back on the beach to the end and check out the Muro de Lagrimas. Manohman the sunset at the end was just spectacular -- low-hanging, dense clouds turning opaque shades of purple and pink with streaks of brighter colors in the sky below and reflected in the high tide. Although I wasn't psyched to lose my podcasts/audiobooks at first (my phone is kaput), I've actually been really enjoying running sans technology. It's much more meditative and I find I feel calmer after the run.
