Onion Head

I was trying to take pictures of the fishermen on Lake Atlitan when this woman came up trying to sell me a blanket. She was very persistent. She didn’t really want to sell me any onions. Eventually she asked if I’d give her a few quetzales to take her picture, so I did, which I normally don’t do. Persistence pays off. The picture turned out okay, though.
