I thought I was puffing out my chest. I look silly
I went hiking with another volunteer nearby to see if I could finally get to the top of this mountain. I've tried twice already and always got stopped by water (rainy season). There is only about a month window where the daytime temperature makes hiking pleasant. In december at night it gets pretty chilly. By 9am its hot again, but it's not hot hot (please excuse the technical jargon). It's also dry and windy nowadays, making the hour trek comfortable.
I saw monkeys, and hopefully can get the picture to upload in the near future. They tell me (Burkinabe, not the monkeys) that these monkeys are sacred and not to be harmed. I couldn't get close, but I saw them from about 50 yards as we were climbing up the hill. I know other monkeys that come near the cornfields are hated by the farmers.
