The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.

Maryhill Washington
Maryhill is a museum in Washington State. It overlooks the Columbia River just east of The Dalles. Very interesting and varied. There are a collection chess sets, pieces by Rodin, and paintings. Then there are the pieces above. This is one sample. The throne of the queen of Romania. Lots of other gilded furniture. It is a 2 1/2 our drive from Portland. Leave around 8 and see the exhibits. Have lunch in the museum cafe and see what you missed, take a run east (2 miles) to a model of Stonehenge and then return to Portland. There is also time to top along Route 84 to see Multnomah Falls or stop at the Bonneville Power Plant.
