Nothing but a smile

 


We have three beaches withing walking distance and the closest is clothing-optional. It's a nice hike and a pleasant beach, and we go there often. I was there this week (clothed) reading a book in a protected nook above the beach. An older, larger, couple came up nudely to find a place to picnic out of the wind. I said hi, they said hi and the guy asked if Keppy bites. I said he didn't and they settled in. I kept reading until the lady came over and and asked if it was okay to move their blanket next to mine. I felt like it was kind of close, especially since they were both super naked but said it was fine. So there we were, me and the naked couple, making small talk. First thing I noticed is that I maintained great eye-contact and it helped me listen. The second thing I noticed was that the lady was understanding my Portuguese and we were having a real conversation. I found myself getting more and more excited about the conversation and less and less uncomfortable about their state of undress. We talked for so long that I was a little late getting home. I'm still trying to understand my feelings about nudism  but I know how I feel meeting someone with whom I can communicate. I feel like smiling.
