You might be surprised, but “Hippo-Heaven” does exist. It tends to change its location every year, but most of the time you can find it in the USA. This year, it could be found in Denver, Colorado. From 14th till 16th of September 2012, the International Hippopotamus Convention took place. Every year, this event changes an ordinary place into a small heaven for hippo-lovers. A place where you can wear a hippo-t-shirt while carrying a hippo-bag with a plush hippo sticking its head out, and get admiring smiles, instead of the “you-are-weird” look… now how great is that? I brought home so many fond memories and lovely presents. This little angel was a gift from a new friend. My daughters do not like hippos, but it became their most favorite of my collection, instantly. I am sure it does not mind, being named after a human angel :-). Dear Sheila, thank you so much for all those gifts and your friendship. I can’t wait to meet you in Hippo-Heaven again, next year!
