Omaha

This weekend was very fun. My roommate Mitch and I went to his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. I was thinking Nebraska was very flat and nothing out there. Parts of the state was definitely like that but in other ways it was urban as well. Unlike Philadelphia, you have to drive everywhere! It takes about 20 mins to get to wherever you need to go. If you need to go to the store, it takes 20 mins. Mitch's family is very Italian. The first night we were there his mother invited his family over to celebrate Mitch's 21 birthday. We had pasta and meatballs the first night and it was so authentic and delicious. The next day we went downtown Omaha and explored. Not many people were there because it was Saturday morning but the streets were still quite filled with tourists. The city looked old and rustic but had a modern day twist to it which made it very fun to explore. When we got back we had steaks for dinner which was incredible as well. His family is very welcoming and friendly and I was able to have another great night with them. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay at his home and would love to go back sometime.
