Snowy Midwestern Encounter

Winter's Day in Kokomo 5

Just came back from my maiden trip to the US on Sunday . It was a 29 hour long trip back to good old Singapore.

Over there, I got to see snow up close for the first time and then got numerous chances to scrap it off the car's windscreen after that. Not much sightseeing in the quiet little town of Kokomo, just lots of steak dinners and shopping at Walmarts and Targets. Will post up more pictures soon.

bb, maybe that will be your next travel goal.

louie, kokomo is mainly flat, no slopes or hills around. and the snow was too thin.
didn't buy candies, just gum.

There's a place called Kokomo

Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand ..............
