Lush banana palms and tangled jungle greenery crowd the edge of a glassy lagoon at Rincón Tropical, La Tabara — a remote, dreamy corner of San Blas, Nayarit, on Mexico's Pacific coast, barely known to tourism in the early 1960s when "The Morleys" made their boat trip here and felt compelled to write home about it. A thatched-roof palapa perches on a stone-cobbled bank above still water that mirrors the tropical canopy perfectly, two tiny figures visible beneath the shade — one in gold, one in stripes — giving human scale to the wilderness. The senders, signing as "The Morleys," sent this Mexfotocolor chrome card to Miss Bertha in Chevy Chase, Maryland, noting they'd seen "a great variety of birds" and could have "used a lot of film — so many scenes seem worth recording." San Blas was a sleepy fishing village in this era, later made famous by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem and a growing surf and birding scene; La Tabara's jungle estuary channels remain a bucket-list destination for birders today. Postmarked San Blas, Nayarit, November 2 (year partially legible, ca. 1960s).
