This morning at 11 am, I get to travel around the Midwest via Twitter.    While my “journey” will technically be from my basement, I am continuing to gather information about all of the great towns and cities in the area that I want to visit someday.  Lincoln places will be a part of today’s adventures.

Today is the Midwest Twitter Chat Round-up where we are revisiting the places that have been featured in 2015 on the monthly chats.  In August, they “visited” Lincoln places, and I greatly enjoyed interacting with so many people and places that call Lincoln home.  As a part of the upcoming chat today, my friend, Lisa, of The Walking Tourists, asked us to send her links of posts featuring the destinations that will be revisited.

When I searched up “Lincoln” on my blog, I came up with 23 pages of results.  Yes, you read that correctly.  23 Lincoln places.  Perhaps too many links to send on … Granted some of the posts are about Lincoln history and past events rather than places to visit, but still …  Obviously I feature my hometown quite a bit on this blog.  Why not write a “Best of” post?  As I was compiling, I realized I still have too many places for even one “Best of” post.  The end result is TWO posts: Best of Places to Go and Learn” and “Best of Places to Eat, Stay and Shop.”  First stop: going and learning.  Because I do not want to play favorites and since I am really not sure I could pick which one is the “best,” I will even put them in alphabetical order.
