Since this is the final year of the Capitola Begonia Festival, this postcard is particularly poetic. And although this card was sent about 34 years before the first begonia festival, I like to think that I can spot a red begonia tucked into a vacationers fine hat. Take a peek at the photo below and tell us if you think that’s a begonia you see there.
Is that a begonia tucked into a fine hat floating down Soquel Creek to Capitola?

Dear Annie,
I am having
a fine time, but not much
rest yet. Dreadfully sun-
burned. Am going out in
the bay salmon fishing
wednesday. Was out 3 miles
in the launch Friday and did
not get sick, so I have hope
for Wed.
Lovingly, MBM
