But even though I felt I wanted to pay her a few dollars and join in the fun in the sun, I was on a mission. Getting to the top of the mountain. I was not alone, and here was the path. |

| Here I was, just launching myself onto the path, and I was stopped by this little creature | staring at me. Then, up walks this girl and says, 'bad monkey'. Huh? I said, me? |
 |
No, she said, putting her hair up. The monkeys here raid birds' nests and where they go, song birds disappear. She said that she was a student here, and these monkeys seem to take over all the trees everywhere and the birds vanish. |

 |
Just then this little flash of red appeared and quickly flew away again. She said that |
there used to be lots of them. This Tanager bird was only bird I saw on the whole walk |
 |
 |
I did see fishermen on the rocks below and |
young guys practicing rock climbing |
 |
I wish I was out there with them - they know how to live |
