Husker Country!
Today we rode into the heart of Cornhusker country, Lincoln Nebraska. The ride was VERY nice considering it was 95 miles. The ride absolutely flew by thanks mainly to the overcast sky and the flat road. We had an arrival at the state capital and got a quick tour of this great building. The architecture here was incredible to say the least. To the right is the new Nebraska state quarter to be released later this year. Pretty neat to see it before production. After the arrival we headed to our hotel that was in a pretty sketchy neighborhood but turned out to be pretty nice. After getting cleaned up we headed to the city park for a Popeye's fried chicken dinner put on by the University Seratoma club ladies. After the tasty meal we headed to the community center for a dance. There were nearly 150 people there to dance with us and the DJ mentioned 
that he had been doing this dance for close to 15 years! Everyone had an awesome time, at left is a picture of Dave Brown and a friend of his singing "Living on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi.
