36 Exploring Omaha

Skyline

 

Get off the bikes for a day so why not take a LONG WALK in the heat? It was cooler but the sun still scorches. Found the Toutist Info center and a great guy, Dennis. Retired Attorney and knows lots about Omaha. Been living here 66 years, a lifetime. He pointed us down the trail toward the Pedestrian Bridge and Lewis and Clark Center. Walking is a terrific way to get acquainted with a city.

    you MUST visit the city’s musuem – formerly the Union Railroad Station – especially if you love Deco architecture. We stopped in on the way to RAGBRAI last summer. There is also the Winter Encampment north of town is you want to learn more about Mormons.
