Day 13 I got myself a hippo

Day 13: A little fun in Mopti
Back in Mopti we spent some time doing a little shopping and taking in the town. After spending so much time in rugged circumstances, we were excited to be back in a little better accommodations. We were especially excited to get the breakfast served at the hotel. No more chicken for breakfast!

On Christmas day we were on the part of the Niger river where we were supposed to see Hippos. I sang the "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas" song all day long but never saw a hippo. Turns out they were hanging out a couple hours past Timbuktu so we didn't get to see one. Therefore, when I saw this statue, I had to get my picture taken.
