Now here in the midwest (USA), we'd worry about a sudden temp drop after hot weather. Tornado set up. :)
We just had some touch down not far from here this past week. Minimal damage this time. The thunder actually woke me up. I think the major clouds stopped right over my house.
I like storms too, especially if they don't come with hail or tornadoes.
Barbara, who wouldn't be caught dead on a nude beach...they'd drag me back to the water, thinking I was a beached whale!
Over here it's actually mostly the idealistical nudists who organise to make sure there are places like this, and while it's okay to look at people (so as not to trip over them, for example), either staring or stealing appreciative glances are both faux pas. These people who think that bodies are normal and natural and that enjoying nature unencumbered by clothes is important? Not so much preoccupied with filmstar looks, most of them. :) So, not so much a place for people to show of their fit-the-mold bodies, but more a place for fairly geeky people to enjoy the outdoors. A wide range of body types was represented today.
Also, eek! about the temp drop tornado thing. Our weather has been getting stranger. I hope that's not what's in store for us...
From what I've seen, and this holds true both in California and New South Wales, nude beaches normally attract the kind of people that wouldn't interest people who think there's such a thing as a 'normal' body. OTOH, people who come closer to fitting the so-called mould are more likely found naked in hot springs resorts and the like. The latter is normally harder to get to, which is probably why.
Holland seemed a little different to me. People were generally much less uptight about nudity and hence all the naked-friendly places I went to had pretty much the same types of bodies that people anywhere in the country had. But to me, Holland has less diversity in body type in its population.
Anyhow, that was a lovely read. Thank you. And I'm glad it wasn't one little ant that made you decide to leave. =)
P.S. de gevleugelde kat sounds like it would be a children's book. =)

It is. And I don't mean to keep pushing my meandering postings/comments on you, but do follow this link as well. I also talk about 'de zomer van de bluegrass liefde' which is a children's book about a gay romance. I've only read the beginning (I already bought 'de gevleugelde kat' that day), but it's really good, as far as I can tell. :)
I'd like to see them camping in the mountains. Cold nights, snow, burrs to dig out of the skin, slivers from sitting on logs around the campfire. Clothes can be a GOOD thing. lol
Hope you never have to sit through a tornado. I've seen the green skies and a few fingers coming down while I was driving toward the storm. I'd have turned around, but my kid was home alone. I've been within a mile or so of them, and that's close enough!
Absolutely clothes can be a good thing. It's nice when they're optional, sometimes. :) And we have a sea climate, it's pretty moderate but still only rarely warm enough to go without clothes anyway. So when it is... ;)
