Day 44 of Overseas Trip 2016

I was on Greyhound bus, travelling from Omaha. On that trip, I was crossing top part of Colorado, USA.

It was dry area of the mountain.




As the time goes by, I started to see snow on, probably, top area of the mountain.






Ah, there is a rest stopover. It was magnificent view. I didn't expect to see it even though I book the greyhound trip with the aim of going to California, USA.




I cannot remember where I took this picture at. It is probably another rest stopover.






Day 45 of Overseas Trip 2016

On day 45, I reached Stockton, CA at late afternoon. I had surrounding shock. It is a lot different compared to many American cities.

I didn't know that the surrounding there was so bad.
It is the Amtrak station, which I will be taking on Day 46.

It was so bad that I could see a lot of cops moving about. All was well as I was safe on Day 45 and Day 46.
