Hump Day Camel at Gene Leahy Park

 We visited the Jazz Concert and the Camel at Gene Leahy Mall this last Wednesday for hump day.  I think this is the first time I had ever touched a camel.  It nuzzled my hand which tickled and also pushed me in the back when we took a picture.

Omaha Restaurant Review: Breakfast Club in Aksarben Village

This is a breakfast restaurant, and is pretty busy.  I went there for biscuits and gravy.  They would have been good except the biscuits were much thicker than what I am use to and I couldn't eat them.  Ther bacon, eggs and gravy were fine.
