In February I went in Ouagadougou for my job. My hotel was in Avenue N’Kruma, in the center of the town. Very soon in the morning before the heat and the traffic, I went running along the streets. Ouagadougou is a city of more than a million of persons, with many small clay houses. I tried to stay on the main streets, the ones with asphalt, between the airport area and the bank of the lake. On an another side of the town, there is also the Bangr-Weoogo park, with lanes across a preserved forest.
