This is Juan. He sells cotton candy in San Pancho. He also has a trampoline that he sets up in the plaza. I have a problem approaching people I don’t know to take their photograph. Especially Mexicans. Don’t gots no balls. During Semana Santa I saw Juan walking up and down the beach selling his cotton candy and finally one day it was so hot that he was taking a break on the malecon near La Perla. I really wanted to approach him and I told Bola who immediately was like, “Hey can my girlfriend take a photo of you?” Which of course embarrassed me to the point of no return and had me backtracking trying to ask him myself and looking like an idiot, but Juan was so lovely and said yes and I snapped away for a few minutes. I printed the one on the right for him and brought it to him at the trampoline the next day. His face lit up when he saw the photo and he just kept saying how wonderful I was. No Juan. You are the wonderful one.
