In Bobo we went exploring and found an old mosque in the city center Outside were many begger children and people praying. This old man is blind and the children take turns leading him around so that he can beg. When the camera came out they were all smiles.
After a few days on the river. We had just gotten stuck at twilight and the river and sky were beautiful. Just as we were taking this picture we realized that there was a hippo about 200 yards from the boat. Some small fishing boat was passing and so I gave him a few coins to take me with a camera over near the hippo. However, the hippo was less than interested in being photgraphed and I really did not get many good shots. I can say that I was withing 50 yards of a hippo in the wild.
The next day we saw more hippos, and the net day, and the next day. All in all we probably saw close to 50 of them. Most of the time they are in the water though, not once did we see them entirley out. At one point one of them yawned or growled or barked or whatever hippos do, but it raised its whole head out of the water and opened its mouth. I have never seen a bigger, scarier looking mouth.
As we passed these sheep they all were being herded by their shepard down to the water. Instead of all piling in, they very orderly made a straight line and all bent down to get water. It almost looks as if they are all praying.
