Please click on the link under the photo for some really interesting information on the artist that created this amazing art & the meaning behind the beauty. Just the statistics of the build are staggering. We're getting to know our way around Omaha better with every visit. Since we've yet to find a facility that isn't under some kind of construction - we've been doing some walking too! After finding a place to park, we started hiking around the UNMC University of Nebraska Medicine campus. Eventually, we found where we were supposed to be. This 82ft. glass tower is imposing & I'd like to come back to see it at night. The cloud above it almost looked like smoke coming from the top!

| Don & Millies in Omaha~ |
When we were done with the business part of the trip, I was starved! A week ago we'd found
Don & Millie's in Bellevue & totally enjoyed a local favorite - the
cheese frenchee! I don't think I've ever written a blog post about food, but these are special. At least if you're a fan of grilled cheese. We were hiking back down the hill to the truck, when I looked across the street & there it was! A Don & Millie's! It must have been pre-ordained!

| The Ultimate! |
These are so very good that you can just ignore the calories! :-) With the Peters family coming for their summer visit in a couple weeks, I've already told them that they are in for a real treat!
Omaha has surprised us with it's cosmopolitan flair, while maintaining that friendly mid-west feel. We checked out a couple of the western wear stores in the area, but only one had any tack at all. Here too, growth is fast & fields are disappearing under acres of new home developments. Roads are constantly being widened to accommodate all the increased traffic. Having seen this happen through the years to Seattle, I don't wish it for Omaha~
