Mood: Enjoying Life with Wife In Mexico, Easy on The Easy
|
|
Now, there are a couple of nudist resorts in Mexico, one for sure in Cancun and the other one was in Loreto. People should be respectful of the
community that they are visiting and only do these things where appropriate. I agree with Sharksbaja and BarryA. along with Minnow if they are
showing and I can see, weeeeeeeeeeellllll I will look. A little look oh what the hell a lot of free looks do not hurt any as long as we do not touch,
the last thing on not touching is the wife's rule and she is definately sticking to it after 32 years.

Once while at the KOA in Chula Vista some "yahoo" (German) decided to change pool-side from his shorts into his thong in full view of
everyone.......that day the pool was full of several familes with young childern (about 20 under 10yrs. old) a reunion was going on. I remember one
5yr. old little girl run screaming to her father (seemed pretty obvious what she had been through in the not to distant past) I say, keep your dang
clothes on around others unless you are at a place you know for sure it is okay!
Now, I have to say, skinny dipping is, and always has been a favorite thing for me, but, I sure know when to keep it private!
Mean people suck!

An unfortunate 2007 pool-side event at the place I stayed at lasy year in Baja:
New arrivals from USA got wasted, returned in the middle of the night, seranaded the locals and the tourists, then  on the pool deck. This prompted a European to walk out of his room in the buff
and loudly proclaim, "We are not all Americans around here!", then made immedistae arrangements to transfer his family to another hotel. Foolishness
is not restricted to any given nation!
When the way comes to an end, then change. Having changed, you pass through.

I think Doug (Baja Nomad) once posted he would like this board to remain family friendly and no more graphic than PG-13... I saw that photo before it
was removed, and it was an R and pretty gross at that!

Windgrrl, Diane............point taken
My pointing out that the man was from Germany was not to say that the Germans are all "Foolish" (as windgrrl put it) what I was trying to say in my
inept way, is that cultures are different and we all should be aware so as not to cause harm to others..............When in Rome? you know the rest.

Unfortunately, many newcomers to Baja feel that they can leave all normal law abiding practices at the border. I hope they were informed of their
cultural mistakes before they do it in a place that gets them in trouble.

To set the record straught...these poor kids have never been in baja, knew nothing about the mexican culture and had been cooped up in a hot dusty van
for 4 days....they went to the beach in their bathing suits...and when the sweet little french girl said "I don't usually use a bathing suit in the
sea" I said OK and off she skipped and when her amiga saw her she too lost the suit. Our beach is very protected and cannot be seen from the road( I
have swam in my birthday suit there before too but without an audience) so I saw no harm in it and it was delightful to watch these lovely sea nymphs
run down to the ocean and revel in it's frothy waves...once in the water you don't notice they're naked anyway...they were having so much fun...it was
sunset so nobody really could see their backlit nakedness on the rock either(unless they had binoculars I guess) so I really didn't have a problem
with it...I LOVE getting naked too and came VERY VERY close to shedding my shorts too and joining the squealing kids(but didn't our of respect for the
culture here) so take it easy on the poor souls...I did talk to them about it afterwards and told them they could get fined for such antics and
described how the women swim here in long jeans and a t-shirt! so they'e been warned.

Still does not make it right. As I understand it the beach is not private and I have seen other people (locals) in that same area. You should have
posted this on bloody decks. You would have gotten a more positive reponse

I've had two "naked baja" experieces.
1 I was at Guerillmos in Bola. It was the 1st time I'd seen SOC. I was on a 4x4 trip with Orange Coast College. We were in town for a quick stop so I
went for a quick swim. I was changing into dry shorts in the the back of an open jeep using the SoCal surfer towel method. The "move out" command came
over the radio and the jeep took off. I was stading in the back with just the towel and had to grab the rollbar to keep from falling out. My towel
came flying off and I basically "mooned" the entire town on our way down the made drag. If they were mad about it I never heard anything.
The other was at San Pedrito and I was changing to dry shorts after a beach session. I was using my truck door for cover but didn't notice a man and
his family near by. I inadverently "mooned" the family. The grandma,wife,daughter etc. When I noticed them the dad was looking angry. I thought I was
in trouble but just some mean hard looks.

I'm not condoning their actions but find this whole thread a bit odd. I'm not a Mexican and thus will not preach as to what is offensive to the
Mexicans. I'm sure we're all guilty of offending Mexicans and their culture at one time or another. I think there are far better means of
approaching this issue than attacking these kids with a righteous attitude.
Just my observation.

I wasn't LOOKING for a positive response, when I post I don't do it for the responses...I just thought it was interesting and could make a good
topic...maybe some newbie may learn from it...it IS a good baja topic.

It is not a righteous attitude, and yes we are all learning and making mistakes---- but really, this one does not take much knowledge about the
culture. Reading just a little in an ordinary guide book would be enough. Poor taste, is poor taste----would be different if they were in the south
of France.
It is really more about creating and maintaining positive relationships between the locals and the newcomers and the tourists from the north. There
are already locals who don't want any of us there.

We have all been young and foolish, (I still am), and they will learn from there mistakes, if you can call that a mistake. From what I gather, the
one girl was from Quebec, they do things a bit different in Quebec, they don't have all the hang ups the rest of us have over a naked body. I think
everyone should just chill, and remember the silly things you did when you were twenty something.

Agree, but the question is how foolish should you be in a foreign country.
