Capitola, Santa Cruz County
Untitled
My mother’s grandparents bought a house in Capitola way back when, so it’s been in our family for a very long time. I’ve gone there 12 out of the 17 summers of my life. I don’t think I can really imagine what I would be like without this place. The memories are endless: Playing on the beach, flattening pennies on the train tracks and hoping no one would steal them, going to Gayle’s, dropping green tea ice cream from the Polar Bear on the ground by accident, eating breakfast at the end of the pier while the fog rolls over the town, sitting outside on the porch listening to the breeze or watching the sunset. If I could live there for the rest of my life, I would. I hope to retire in Capitola.
