I found a waterfall!

Rather lovely night run starting in the tiny municipality of Jajce near Jezero. Listening to a podcast about international development and labor rights (4 Questions). The highway pretty empty and as soon as I reached Jajce I headed through the town, which was virtually deserted seeing as it was nearly 1am. Keep up a pretty respectable clip on the way out and the way back, somewhere in the low 7s. As I returned on my out-and-back route to the center of town, I paused to check out Jajce's famous waterfall. It is absolutely magnificent lit up at night. Back on the highway I got pulled over by some police and managed to miraculous conjured up a host of Bosnian vocab I didn't know I still had to explain that I was innocently out running, that my passport was back in my room at the hostel a few km away, and that I was sorry for running in the highway but there wasn't really any space between the road and the forest. They were friendly enough but took down my info all the same from my American driver's license. They warned me to be careful. I made it home without further incident, very pleased with my language skills. I was prepared to pull up the article about me winning the Sarajevo marathon if they needed further verification.
