After a good brunch ( waffles with blueberry sauce etc) we headed to Omaha. We stopped at an art museum. It was a pleasure to see works of Renoir and Monet. The most stunning were the artifacts of native Indians. Such intricate bone and bead work on leather/ hide.

Next we headed to the zoo.We were taken aback by what we saw. it was truly amazing. the desert habitat, butterfly park, cat complex, giraffe and zebra complex ,bear complex were awesome. But most astounding were the apes- gorillas and orangutans. The gorillas won our hearts. Seeing them leaves no doubt about Darwin's theory of evolution. We saw a baby gorilla in diapers being carried by a lady who is playing its surrogate mother. It was too to cute.

The way this country presents its culture/ history etc is something we have to learn. The zoo experience was remarkable.
