As I noted in my earlier post about my fantabulous stay at Rancho La Puerta, one of the true highlights of my week was the early morning hikes. Yes, it was sometimes tough to roll out of bed for the 6, 6:30 or 7 a.m. guided walks, but afterwards, having started the day in the resplendent desert setting (and having gotten some great exercise), it was certainly worth the effort. Plus, I was in control of my day at the spa – if I wanted to take a mid-afternoon nap to make up for lost sleep, I could!
After hiking, I’d stretch and then walk to breakfast along the brick-paved path, passing by a double-sided chalkboard that always featured different daily quotes. Here are just a few of my favorites — I hope you’ll find inspiration in them like I did!
