So, I tried to get up this itty bity mountain that gives you a great view of Maroua.

didn't work out so well. I was not feeling so well before going up, but really that's just a lame excuse. it was also in the late afternoon, so, hot. also a slightly lame excuse. basically... i started up this big hill with a bunch of volunteers and ended up hanging out about a third of the way up with some kids who bounced alongside us, waiting for the rest of the group to go to the summit and come back down and get me. i was okay with that because the kids were terribly cute and the view was pretty good from where i sat.

more about it some other time... when I have time to type. internet clock a ticking...
