Mid-morning yesterday, two Bretts and I — stomachs full-to-bursting with hash browns — set out from Brett's sea-level home toward Monte Gordo (Mount Fat, as I translate it). Five short hours and many cows/splinters later, our surprisingly-manly selves reached its breathtaking 1,312 m (4,304 ft) peak.
I know that may not sound very high if you're from Colorado or Nepal, but you have to remember that we're on an island. So from 1,312 m we actually saw Fogo (Cape Verde's active volcano, part of the distant southern archipelago), and the visible ocean stretched more than a hundred miles in every direction around us.
(Ok, so it was cloudy in the north, but that was cool too.)
