Korean Friendship Bell & Wayfarers Chapel


The fountain which Sophie had to be torn away from. She was so cross she put her whole body on the floor (face down) and cried and then lifted her head up to check we were watching only to mash it down again with emphasis, thus smacking herself on the floor and collecting another forehead bruise. Doh.
Bit of touristy stuff. This is the lovely and strange Korean Friendship Bell. Given to the US by North Korea in 1981 to symbolise everlasting friendship and understanding between the two nations. It is in Palos Verdes and is actually quite tricky to find. Some people may recognise it from films, the most memorable being the Usual Suspects.



The other photos are of the Wayfarers Chapel also in Palos Verdes. It would be the most amazing setting for a wedding as its made of glass, and surrounded by beautiful pine trees with a stunning view of the pacific ocean. And in fact has featured in the OC. It was built by 1954 and designed by the son of Frank Lloyd Wright.
