I told you about Chicago and then had no time to tell you the rest. And now it's over, and so is my stay in the US. I'm going to tell you a little about the rest of our trip, if you want to. If you don't, just stop reading now. :)
So we made it to Omaha and it wasn't a very pleasant morning... It was raining, the Greyhound station was too small to have a lugguge storage area. That was to start with. We decided to walk to the Amtrak station, from which we were leaving the same night, but it seemed that nobody really knew where it was. And then we found out it is closed until about 9 pm, which is about an hour before the train leaves. What a lovely town! :)
We were lucky and found a hotel where we could leave our backpacks. Then we found a place for brunch, which wasn't anything particularly special, but it was good enough. Plus - we were soaking wet so it was nice to sit inside. :)
Then, after some time, it stopped raining, we walked a little around the Old Market, which is probably the only area interesting for tourists :), and then went to the library where we spent a couple of hours reading books. Being tired, though, it didn't work that well, so we went for a walk when the sun finally turned its nice face to Omaha. :)
I'm going to make it short - we walked around, waited and it seemed that we had too much time, all the time we needed in Chicago and didn't have, we had here and didn't know what to do with it. When the right time came, we went to the train station. The train was late, of course. :) But it wasn't that bad and the conductor was a really nice guy. And we left Omaha at aroun 11:30 pm and agreed that we wouldn't miss it at all.
