swam naked in the ocean, finally! tulum, mexico in march. late at night after getting drunk on rum—poured into a coconut with some juice and passed around the campfire. then everyone [four guy friends and me] running to the beach and peeling our clothes off and throwing ourselves into the sea!

after, we ran down the beach naked. some people were walking but we just laughed. i slept peacefully in my sandy tent, hair salty and wet, and my body still rising and falling with the ocean.
