On Wednesday I had to say goodbye to a little town that I kind of started to fall in love with. Lake Ohrid is an amazing place that I would recommend to anyone.

I forgot which one
one of the animals I saw on my hike
a few goats on the hike
a few sheep
I went to Tri Mazi Peak -- means three middle peaks?
Between Saturday - Tuesday, during my time there, I ran about 27 miles, biked 35 miles, and hiked/walked about 20 miles. I did swim about 100 meters or so as well. Needless to say yesterday was a day off from my marathon training. There is so much one can do around Lake Ohrid, in Macedonia, and in Albania as well. It is definitely a well kept secret that most folks are not aware of. The lake for one is amazing. The food is great, and very inexpensive. The hiking is marvelous, especially with the sunsets. Walking through the town and seeing the old churches and fortress wall will captivate you as well.
I will leave a few pictures from my last two days of my time in Ohrid - overall I spent 8 nights in Macedonia, 3 in Skopje, and 5 in Lake Ohrid.
The iPad has better pictures that will be uploaded sometime in the next day or two - Giant OOPS on that one.
this was
one of the sunset shots -- not the best though
