fun loving youngsters commit "faut pas" in Asuncion
This is a report of a trippy bunch of canucks who shook up our quiet little village. As Nomad Fritzke(?), driven here by curiosity, and driven crazy
by 4 youngsters and 4 dogs, pulled up at the blowhole and spilled out of the old van, things got progressively interesting. Lots of peeing, stretching
and butt sniffing as all the species got introduced to each other....beers cracked as the gaggle gawked at the magnificent coastline. I remember that
dazed look as they took it all in....I had it too long ago (and still do!)
I showed the dusty tribe the descent to our private beach and kicking off their thongs(all of them) in the blink of an eye some of em were out of
their gear(yup, beechee) and giggling and dancing down to the water. And my friends, there was ne'er a hesitation nor shriek of surprise at the cold
water...in they dove screaming with delight...ahhh gotta love the canadian youth! The good thing was they were in the water where passerbys on the
road couldn't tell they were butt naked....After frolicking for a few minutes they decided to swim out to a little rock island in front of our place
which is no easy feat...then I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw them all up dancing naked on the rock!!! Oh my....so much for being inconspicuos!
Some kids on a little quad drove by and did a U'ey and came back down to watch the show. So needless to say, the whole town knows about the crazy
naked dancers on the rocks! Ni modo...the kids had a fabulous time and after showering I stuffed them full of yellowtail burritos. We did a beer run,
the whole gang shouting and waving at everyone from the back of Juan's pick-up...nope not your typical Nomad visitors. It was fun to see all the
smiles on the locals faces as this exhuberant bunch paraded around the village. After dinner, it was time for Juan to teach these city kids how to
skin the snake they had run over. All the animal pack ate snake and the skin was pinned to a board and salted. It was a lively discussion around the
table that night and Caroliina from Quebec made me a lovely pair of feather earrings. Fortunately they had to hit the road early in the morning as
Nomad Barb was in a big hurry to get to her rancho...good thing, no telling what another day with them would have brought.

Shari,
It's a good thing you didn't have a telephoto lens handy!

It is difficult to understand why tourists travel to a remote, traditional and conservative fishing village and do things offensive to the local
customs. 
In this case it is especially difficult to understand since there are miles and miles of isolated beaches close by where they could have been alone.

Sure nothing wrong with skinny dipping where it is appropriate to do so. 
As some of you probably remember, in the old days, female tourists wearing shorts were apt to be P-nched by the local women.

They probably should/would have been thrown in jail if it were not for Shari.
Sadly, taking off your clothes and running around naked is one of the most offensive things you can to in Mexico. Usually with good reason.

Ditto John,
There are many to quickly point out "the ugly American". This type of behavior is rude and in poor taste , Canadian or whomever. A little discretion
down the beach a few miles would have at least shown a little intelligence and respect.

skinny dippin
I say we take a poll....
How many of you think beautiful nude bathing beauties from Canada are offensive and how many think they are delicious?
BTW how do I set up one of those "polls" anyway?

Its not about what we think, its how the Mexican people take that kind of activity. I think that Shari didn't know this was going to happen,or that
sharing her private beach it was secluded enough if she did know. Its her community she should know whats acceptable not us.

I could leer and letch all day long, but that's not the point. It is offensive to Mexican culture. We must respect that. I think Shari did a good job
of covering (excuse the pun) for the Canucks.

The Canuts are at it again!
It's interesting to note that many Canadians like to share their nakedness. They really don't make a point if others aren't around. Simple showmanship imo. Some would call them exhibionists but those folks would be
the daring "thong hangers".
I wonder if they even give/gave cultural differences or aspects a consideration. Duhhhhhhhhh.......... wha??????????
Now from an SoCal point of view....... just show us the (girlies)goods. No
implants please!
Shari, you are waaaaaay outnumbered.
btw, that was a gutsy post on BD. Good for you standing yer ground!

Sexual mores aren't much different from political beliefs, in my opinion. You can call them "cultural" or you can call them... "constantly changing."
Some are willing to take a stand against "la mordida," others believe it's a part of mexican culture and bend over for it. I think the god squads in
Iran who whip women who show a little ankle in the marketplace are barbaric, and don't belong in ANY culture. I also think trashing Canadians who
frolic in the surf on a rather isolated beach for a few minutes belongs to the "leave it to beaver" era Ever been to one of the end-of-summer parties at Tecolote beach? Not all Mexicans are offended by a little t and
a - or a less church-centered notion of a women's place and proper demeanor...

They (nudies) are not offensive to me, but they ARE to many folks-------people should make an effort to NOT offend others, especially when in another
country-----
However, when nudies (young women) are seen by me in public, I believe that gives me the right to oggle them with binocs, or whatever.
That is my contribution to the "poll".

Please remember that many of us "leave it to beaver" era people came of age in the 1960s, the woodstock era.
Yes, things are changing, but Bahia Asuncion is still a rather isolated fishing village, and Shari is the first person who oftens suggests that people
respect the local culture and not bring down the "northern" ideas.
She certainly cannot control everything tourists will do. Her post sounded like she was a little surprised by the naked dancing on the rock and was
not unhappy when they left.
Again, skinny dipping can be fun---in the appropriate place. IHMO, we don't have to like, nor accept the local culture, but it is not up to any of us
to try to "modernize" their customs, mores, and value systems. We are guests.

it is offensive to abuse the hospitality of a nation. Mexico has the right to determine the mores we all should accept and approve. We are guests.
