January 2011 - Wayfarer's Chapel

I'd never been to Wayfarer's Chapel in Palos Verdes.  My aunt was married there in the 60s and I knew it was a place that shouldn't be missed.  However, I kept missing it.  The chapel was designed by Lloyd Wright, the son of Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1951.  It is a glass chapel nestled among the trees overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
