california: Wharf to Wharf Race, Santa Cruz to Capitola, CA 2008 - 07/27/08 05:56 PM
My middle daughter ran the Wharf to Wharf Race for the second time, a 5.8 mile run, which goes from the Municipal Wharf in Santa Cruz to Capitola. After the race, she and her friend walked to my house, not too far from Capitola Beach, where I snapped this picture.
She looks pretty pleased with herself! I am proud of her. I was safely & snugly in my house, thinking about all of the people running on the awesome coast, while I lounged about, fiddling around with my blog.
The first Wharf to Wharf Race was in 1973, just a few … (1 comments)

california: Bella Roma - A Slice of Italian Ambiance in Capitola, CA - 10/22/07 05:33 PM
Bella Roma, Capitola, CA.
I have been enjoying meals at this restaurant for a few years now. It is owned by Gaetano Balsamo and is located in Capitola Village, just a short walk from the beach.
The food is enjoyable and a highlight for me, is the "old world" ambiance. The wait staff is awesome!

california: Capitola, California - An Early Evening Walk in September - 09/16/07 01:03 PM
The mouth of Soquel Creek where it meets the Pacific Ocean. Capitola Lagoon, Early Evening September, 2007. Note: The lagoon is shored up in the summer time to provide more beach for tourists. In the off-season, the creek runs naturally to the ocean.
September in Santa Cruz County is amazing. The weather is generally warm, clear, and beautiful. That was the case last week when I took an early evening walk from Pleasure Point in Santa Cruz to Capitola.
I thought this lavender colored rose was beautiful!

california: Soquel, California . . . Picturesque Soquel Elementary (Grammar) School - 05/16/07 12:55 PM
Soquel is a cute little "district" in Santa Cruz County, bordering the sea-side village of Capitola. Capitola itself used to be part of Soquel Landing.
As a student of local history, I am forever trying to figure out how things used to look - how various buildings were layed out on streets. Soquel Elementary School (previously Soquel Grammar School) is a case in point. It evidently was first established across the street from where it is now (which is on the East side of Porter St. in Soquel). Designed by famous architect, W.H. Weeks in the Spanish Colonial Revival style (as so … (2 comments)

california: Venetian Court, Capitola-By-The-Sea, California - First California Condo! - 05/15/07 06:56 PM
I vacationed at the historic Venetian Court in Capitola-By-The-Sea (California) as a child, and my husband and I continued the tradition with our kids.
I have strong childhood memories of swings on the beach (no doubt now an insurance liability that could not be fathomed), of begging my dad for nickels and dimes to play "skee ball" in the bars that flanked the Esplanade. Running loose, barefoot, back-and-forth from the beach to the arcade - I feel sad that most kids never know the experience to roam free and play at whim.
