A night out in Omaha

We have a room at the old fashioned Magnolia Hotel in downtown Omaha, not far from the historic cobblestone street district. After checking in, we walked down there to the Upstream to get some dinner, which was ok but nothing special. On the way back, we took a horse drawn carriage ride with Thunder (horse) and Xander (dog) and a taciturn drover. Happily -- since we could not find a place to get dessert -- they had cookies and milk waiting in the hotel lobby upon our return.

It was a long drive today, and tomorrow promises more of the same. But we are about half way across the nation. It has been interesting seeing all the various crops grown across the heartland.
