Stumbling Onto Fabulous Plateau Indian Beadwork



James and I spent last night at the Marcus Whitman Hotel in Walla Walla. (Sweet choice, James, especially since they were overbooked and upgraded us to a suite!)
Today is already lucky too, as we got to see this wonderful exhibit at the Walla Walla Museum: Patriotic Beadwork of the Plateau People. I didn't know it was here. Here's a short review from their sister museum, Tamastslikt Cultural Center, where I am headed this afternoon. (My 3rd time there; always worth it. (James is hitting the links instead; I gave him the afternoon off.) Tamastslikt is a gem out here ten or so miles from Pendleton. And a nice biking distance from the Wild Horse Casino, where we are staying tonight in a very quiet (?!) room.
Would our luck will hold? Should we play Keno or Blackjack or ..?.. tonight? Or just eat a great meal at the Plateau Restaurant and think on it...
PS Muchas Gracias Vicky and Brian, for taking care of the house and dog for us. (Hope it's not too noisy there.)
