I started in on a treatise on bodies and self acceptance, but you know what? Is isn't about the people staying at Club O, it's about the rest of society. Religion teaches us that there is something inherently dirty about our bodies, and at the same time human nature is drawn to titillation. Since most of western "civilization" equates nudity to sin, you've got and irresistible draw to the nude beach.

Good news; people without clothes are remarkably friendly people! And a lot of non-naked people discover that they like hanging out with such laid-back people and making friends, and truly relaxing.

I'd find a cruise ship limiting, but that's my world-traveled background. Of my friends who go on cruises; they're actually testing their boundaries as best they can.

I like to think, as they stand there at Pedros, or even *tittlegigglegiggle* venture onto Club O sand, they're looking and learning.

Yeah, most are irredeemable buffoons. But I know we have have some Traveltalk regulars who started with that walk, and are now Club O regulars. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" />
