A ride on the million dollar highway.

Seeing several Hollywood films during my student days, I often imagined myself as a sports car driver, sometimes a detective cop and at times an accomplice of James Bond 007!

That is an age when everyone would like to emulate what they see and admire outside. Among such things, I have fallen in love with those scenic roads in America. Driving along the ocean deep down in an open red colored car... hmm.. what a day dream!

There is a particular drive in the U.S. called 'The Million Dollar Drive'. It is a 75 mile stretch in the high ridges of Colorado.

Shermans Travels explains it more dramatically as follows:
"Breathtaking journey through the majestic mountain passes of western Colorado. Crossing part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway, and following route U.S. 550 between the old mining towns of Silverton and Ouray, the route’s twists and turns wend high above the Red Mountain Pass – an 11,018-foot-high collapsed volcano whose lava flow was found to contain gold in 1860 – and past the deep Uncompahgre Gorge, into which flow several waterfalls."

Dine under the sea.

Enjoyed the euphoria while dining at a roof top restaurant? The world below would have looked small and beautiful from atop-right?

Now, how about dining under the sea; but now world view from here but the sights of under water world will be truly worldly.

Yes, as you dine under the waves, you will have thousands of onlookers eyeing you suspiciously whether you are a threat to their survival. I mean those exotic looking fishes and the myriad under water marines.

Rangali Island, Maldives: The Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is home to the world’s only all-glass aquarium-style dining experience. The Ithaa Undersea Restaurant, set more than 16 feet below the surface, has a 360-degree view of the Indian Ocean’s marine life and nearby reefs. With seating for only 12, though, reservations are recommended.

The house with 3200 windows.

The legendary house on the rock is among the strange places to visit in the U.S. It is located in Spring Green, Wisconsin.

The house is said to have 3264 windows. Then imagine how many rooms are in that house on top of a 60 foot rock! I was surprised to read that the house only has 14 huge rooms.

It is built by Alex Jordan in the 1940s. He used it as his gate away place. In 1961 this was turned into a museum and opened to public.

Many weird things surround the house and inside the house. The house itself has to be navigated through dark halls that are feebly lit by Tiffany lamps.

The name of the rooms sound ominous to me.

The Carousel Room is filled mystic carousel beasts that are half men and half animals.
There are many mannequin angels hang from the walls and rotate overhead. Then there is the Infinity room, Organ Room, Cannon room, Doll room and the Circus room.
