He had a number of women friends who lived in the town of Eldoret, to the southeast of the mountain. He gave money to his women friends, and they were happy to love him.#2 Mount Elgon is a volcano in Uganda and Kenya that straddles the border between those two countries. It is a biological island of rain forest in the center of Africa, and it is being cleared away to make room for grazing land.#3 The Elgon forest, around Monet’s camp, was home to thousands of elephants. They would have heard the animals moving through the forest, and seen rock hyraxes running up and down the boulders near the cave.#4 Monet and his friend went into the cave to see where the light went. They found a pillar that seemed to support the roof, and they discovered a petrified rain forest full of crystals. They went deeper into the cave, descending a slope, until they came to a pillar that seemed to support the roof.
