This mini version of Boris (see post: Boris), is called: Leo. We went on holiday to Norway, about 10 years ago. I thought it would be fun to clip a hippo on my backpack with a carabiner. Plushies do not weigh much, but for practical reasons it had to be a small one, so Boris had to stay home.... I forgot why he is called Leo. I do remember that this hippo did not have any name before we went on holiday. It had something to do with giving him a name starting with "L", because of my name, but that's all I can remember...... Normally, I never travel with any hippo, and I do not know why I decided to do so on that occasion. But this time, I just had to bring him, we were going to Norway again after such a long time! This photo has been taken at Spiterstulen, a former mountain farm, now a tourist station in Jotunheimen (translated: The Home of the Giants) National Park. We had been camping for some days... a bit tired but happy to have made it to this hut... this sign says it all: hot showers, nice food and cozy chairs - this way, please!!!!!!!!!!!
So cute! Just like my hippo that I took pictures of at the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas. When I was taking pictures, I felt weird about it but after discovering the Hippo Group, I realize- I'm not alone out there.
