Living in a crown of mountains

Today after I checked into the hotel and got settled I decided to walk around the city for a bit and find a place to eat. The wonderful concierges at Ahotel Princep gave me two maps and recommended a restaurant for me to try--Pecats (which is "pecados" in Spanish haha, directly translated into English as sins but in this context more playful like food so good it must be bad, you know). Anyway moral of the story is this post is not  to give you a review of Pecats because I never made it there.
I got lost. I was the most lost I have ever been in my life. After a few turns and windy roads I had no idea where I was or where I was headed for the last hour of my two hour excursion...which ended up being a bad combination for not having eaten or slept in the last 24 hours.
But thankfully my fashion sense was able to lead me. I had maps but no streets have name signs on them so they were useless so I turned to the one thing that never fails. Good shoes. At the end I was picking left or right by remembering what clothes/shoes had sparked my attention haha. But actually it really is just a miracle I found the hotel in the end.
This journey was definitely worth it though because I got to see some beautiful views of Andorra and found a great running route for tomorrow along the river! So here's some pictures to help you fall in love with Andorra! And come visit :) 
Couldn't have asked for better weather on my first day


A good running/walking/biking path I stumbled upon

Need architectural creativity to try and make the building look like it fits into the mountain behind it

Happy in Andorra!
