Where are my sunflowers?
I was hoping to visit a sunflower plantation in this sunflower state. But, unfortunately, it was not the season to see them when I visited. Kansas is called the "sunflower state" because its weather is ideally suited for sunflowers.
Wichita is not the capital of Kansas; it is Topeka. But I was surprised to learn that Wichita is the "air capital of the world." In 1929, the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce used that nickname for Wichita due to the significant presence of aviation and aeronautical corporations in the city. Since then, they have used the nickname to refer to Wichita.

I explored the "Old Town," and as expected, the streets were almost empty with cars and people but with lots of old brick buildings. Interestingly, I've learned that there are lots of bars around town.
Once in a while, I meet other solo travelers like me, and I met one here. People are friendly, and they want to help strangers.
I still hope to visit a sunflower plantation here someday.
