Autobiography: Laguna Beach - In Southern California between Los Angeles and San Diego - We went to a Wedding and Stayed at the Famous Hotel Laguna.

My Niece had her Wedding at a Golf Course up on a Hill overlooking Laguna Beach. On the Road to Irvine. It was a Fancy Formal Affair and We got to meet all her in laws for the first time and we got to revisit her Mom's Family... There was a lot of Dancing at the Reception... BIG FUN... This was a Traditional Jewish Wedding and we all wore Yarmulkes out of respect... 

That Reminded me of Attending Martin and Adrienne's Wedding on a Boat in Long Beach Harbor. We Danced the "Chair Dance" where Four Men Held a Chair in the Air with the Bride sitting on it... That's something I've Never done before... 

Victoria and I stayed at the World Famous Laguna Hotel... It was "The Place to BE" during the Silent Movie Era and Charlie Chaplain Partied There... It was Elegant and WAY out of my price range but... Since someone else was Paying... I really had a Great Time... We also walked around downtown and saw the Many Art Galleries... after all, It's Famous as an Artist Colony...

Of Course, Laguna Beach is MOST Famous for being the Home of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love... They were the chemists that made "Orange Sunshine" LSD. They also Hired the Weather Underground to Break Dr. Timothy Leary out of Vacaville Prison and helped him escape to Africa to go Live with Eldridge Cleaver, a Black Panther...
