Owner of the only fruit & juice stand in town. Don't know how they always had so much fresh fruit available in the desert--didn't seem like they were getting daily deliveries--but the only thing they were missing was mango, and the 1000-peso giant slices of super-sweet watermelon were the best breakfast I could ask for.

I think this one is the son of the owner, but I didn't clarify. The owner definitely said he only had one son. Anyway, the boy found the photoshoot hilarious, with his dad calling out modeling instructions the whole time. ("don't stop sweeping! She needs to see you at work! Sweep facing her!")

This girl (and her smiling mom in the back) was incredibly patient with me. I had to change lenses to get her photo and she just waited and waited. So cute.

The owner of Hostal la Langosta on the right, chatting with these folks across the street.

Also, there was an inordinate amount of these small shaggy dogs in Cabo, which seemed weird considering the desert heat. The hostal owner personally had three.

Cabo only has one juice stand, and these young employees were super friendly. Well, I am also extremely recognizable in a place like this. I was walking along the beach with camera in hand, and from pretty far away I could hear them calling out "CHIINA! CHIIIINAAAA!", begging me to take their photo but without actually slowing down as they rode by. Surprised I got this one.

I'm not in the habit of photographing naked children in developing countries. But I'm sorry, these kids were so freakin' cheerful, having too much fun in the gorgeous Cabo water....I wanted to squeeze their little faces in.

I don't know what the plastic cup is for. Hopefully not just found garbage they were using as a toy.

About an hour's walk from town in the opposite direction of El Pilón de Azucar (or at least an hour direct from El Pilón). El Faro is a lighthouse on a hill with a view of the sunset on clear days (this wasn't one) and the beach below is called Ojos de Agua for some reason.

Walking towards El Pilón de Azucar. Almost there, but it's a SLOW walk in this sand...the hill looked the same distance for a really long time.

El Pilón de Azucar is a high, windy hill in the desert about an hour's walk from my hostal in Cabo. (Since Cabo is so spread out some hotels are only 45 minutes away). Below El Pilón is a gorgeous secluded red-sand beach.

A freshwater lake in the middle of the desert. Supposedly good for bird-watching, but it was surrounded by some super-suction mud that I actually got stuck in for a few minutes...so I didn't get much closer than this.
