Friday 3 September: Driving to Omaha

In the morning Punk came by to say goodbye before we left for Omaha.
We had a rather fancy breakfast in the restaurant, it was fun! Shades of Dirty Dancing indeed!

Today was a long drive with very few stops.
One of the places we stopped for a breather, was absolutely riddled with spiders that gave Gina the creeps:




The landscape along the way was nondescript and did not invite further exploration. I'm sure there's more than enough to see if you'd take the time to explore, but we did not tarry here. We drove into Omaha after sunset but found Peg's house almost immediately. Peg has a gorgeous home, a lovely husband Tim (who makes a mean steak, or as Peg says, Mastodon!) and Seamus, the heart-stealing dog!



We went with Peg when she took the dog for a walk through the neighbourhood - it really is very lovely there. Hilly, many trees, large gardens, a lovely laid-back atmosphere.

Peg has a party tomorrow, so Gina and I helped her prepare food etc for the feast (well ok, I mostly just stood around and yakked while Peg fixed the food). We all sampled some of that almost 100% proof booze Punk gave Gina, almost took the top off my head! I will be sleeping on the very comfortable couch tonight.
