Day 42 of Overseas Trip 2016
On Day 42, I attended Markel's informal meeting at the Hilton Omaha hotel, opposite CenturyLink Central Omaha in the early morning.
I walked back to host's home after the meeting.
End of Day 42.
Day 43 of Overseas Trip 2016
I hope to have lunch at Gorat's Steakhouse. I realised that it was closed for afternoon and will be reopened at evening on the same day. The owner of Gorat was kind enough to drive me back to host's home.
Inspired by his generosity, I went Gorat again to have dinner before I leave Omaha tonight by (Greyhound) bus.
Goodbye Omaha. End of Day 43.
