End of day 92- Seward Nebraska

Woke up at 6am today. Robt Nickos of Omaha was my host overnight. We had breakfast at Denny's and he drove me to the Holy Family Shrine in Gretna. Mike and Kristine Bickhaus who I met in Quincy, IL highly recommended that I visit the shrine especially since it was right on my way.

This is a Catholic church/shrine constructed of huge pre-engineered wood trusses and glass walls. The shrine sits on a bluff high up overlooking I-80. It's very serene and beautiful. People can come in and pray there. Moving.

Then we drove to Robt's girlfriend, Elaine's, house in Lincoln. Afterward, we drove to his farm outside Raymond NE and took a tour. Beautiful rolling hills. Robt and Elaine will be building a house there and will buy a few head of cattle.

Robt is retired after 40 some odd years as an insurance adjuster. He was my supervisor during catastrophe operations I was involved with due to Hurricane Ike in Houston 2008-2009. He taught me a lot about multi million dollar commercial claims.

Then he dropped me off in Seward NE where I interviewed with the local newspaper. Spoke with Amanda one of the reporters for around an hour.

Then checked in a motel as church offices were closed today as per usual on Mondays.

Will walk the 14 miles to Utica tomorrow.

Both Robt and Mark/Susie made contributions to my walk. Also, Mike and Kristine Bickhaus sent me two Walmart gift cards. They were very generous! Thanks to the Bickhauss', Mahnkens and Robt Nickos!!!
