We've made it to Nebraska. We checked into the La Quinta Inn in western Omaha city. Yesterday evening we checked out the "Old Market" of downtown Omaha. It was a neat shopping and eating district with old brick buildings and brick roads.
Mateo and I went to the Upstream Brewing Co for dinner. I had, of all things, pizza and he had a strip steak which looked delicious. We also got a sampler tray of their 12 different home brews.
The atmosphere of the town is great... Omaha is a modern city, but the roads are wide and clean and it feels really safe. The city elegantly combines old brick buildings, old stre
et lamps and old sign 
text painted on buildings with modern mini-skyscrapers, parks with modern sculpture and exciting musical events.They played Flogging Molly and a local band that sounded like the Dropkick Murphys back-to-back on the local radio station.
Today, after having a good night's rest in one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on, we are going to visit the Omaha visitors bureau and an anatomy exhibit. I think we plan on camping tonight at the far west part of Nebraska, just before the Colorado border. I found a seemingly cute, small state parks with Nebraska's last/only working water-powered mill, Champion Hampton Mill.
