Free as a bird
19 months ago
Years ago I went to Germany with my boyfriend. We visited a spa in Baden Baden and met his whole family in the nude. I had a few minutes to decide whether to participate or not. I knew that if I kept my clothes on and didn’t shed my prudish, american ways, I would not have the opportunity to do so later because everyone would know I felt self-conscious. It was a liberating feeling. No one looked. It was such a natural feeling. The following year we visited Greece (we married by then) and went camping in the nude. My husband’s uncle’s kids were even there. I felt free as a bird.
