Naked???

Today I stop at a small and cozy hotel (Posada Mexico), at the only legally naked beach in whole Mexico, at Zipolite, Oaxaca.

Of course, you could go naked in many of the Mexican beaches when nobody is close by; but here, you could do it from early in the morning to late at night, and you could walk the almost two-mile-long beach from side to side and nobody will care if you are too old, too skinny, too young or too fat; if you have fifteen piercings in your nose, mouth and ears or if your body is a complete tattoo world map.

So, prepare to expose yourself if you want to try, and if you are too shy you could do it very early in the morning or in a very hidden corner of the Playa del Amor.

Jumping naked in the waves or diving into them is an experience I recommend to do it at least once in your lifetime. So, if you are not Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Charlize Theron, Johnny Depp, or Cesar Millan, the famous Dog Whisperer, who are being followed by paparazzies all the time; and if you don’t have something really spectacular you could be afraid or proud to show, then come to Zipolite and let the oceans waves to stroke your complete body and the Sun to tarnish completely your skin.

To me, seeing the very nudity of our bodies does not mean more than comparing how much hair we have or we don’t have in our chests, or if we have nice biceps or strong legs, or if our derriere is something worth or not to look at; since at the end we all will go “Naked” to the next world, without all our worries, without all our shames, without all our prejudices. The same prejudices that stop us from getting drunk from time to time, from shouting aloud “I am happy”, or for crying without being able to stop for the loss of a beloved one.

So, get engaged at Zipolite, and after a year or two, you will want to come back, to let laying in the sand your swing suit and go naked into the waves, leaving behind all your worries and all your fears.
