After Grand Island we rode to Lincoln and then Omaha, Nebraska. The rides were still humid and hot, but the headwinds weren't as bad as the western portion of Nebraska.
Lincoln was cool because we stayed right next to the University of Nebraska campus at the Beta Theta Pi house, which was really nice. Also just down the street with the Nebraska state capitol, which was really unique; it looks a lot like a bell tower.
In Lincoln after a sponsored dinner we went to a dance with the local Arc chapter and they were again really excited to see us. Again I was interviewed on the local news, which was pretty sweet.
In Omaha we got a pretty good lunch at the Saturn of Omaha, which has been a long-time sponsor of JOH. Afterwards we drove across the river to Council Bluffs, Iowa for a friendship visit and then had another friendship visit at the Ollie Webb Center, which is a municipal facility in Omaha for people with disabilities. They served dinner and had a guy who sang and played the guitar for entertainment who was really good. Later on I went out with some of the guys for some wings, which was a good time. I'm a little disappointed we didn't get to see downtown Omaha, but the friendship visit was a lot of fun.
