What a great start for the New Year, Baja! Those are such gorgeous landscape photos. I took a scuba trip to Baja quite a few years ago along with a buddy who was a cacti and succulent expert. I remember thinking the Cardons were funny saguaros! It boggled my mind to see so many cacti mixed in with palms and many of the cacti were growing close by the water. I thought it would only be a scuba trip, but it ended up being a wonderful intro to the cacti there.
