It is times like these that I truly feel like a Canadian and an outsider to Mexico. Today I went to pick up Kristen in school at 2:30 in the afternoon and then went to get some groceries.
I had been working at my desk all day so I was wearing my comfort clothes; shorts, tank top and Birkenstock' s but when I arrived at the school everyone was wearing designer jeans, long sleeve shirts, socks and shoes and one person was wearing a furry vest.
I have my hair up in a ponytail, not because I am fashionable but because I am hot. I really should cut it short again. Everyone there had styled hair and looked absolutely gorgeous. There were designer purses and very cute and sassy looking mothers. Even the teachers looked fashionable and neat and here I feel like a sopping mess.
I asked someone how long it took to be acclimatize and they said about a year. Now mind you even in Canada and in a snow storm I could be found with my coat wide open and wearing running shoes. And my father was constantly wearing a jean jacket and clogs in the winter in Canada.
So maybe I won't acclimatize. Maybe I will always be hot and have to wear as little as possible. It is times like this that I wish I had a killer body because if I did, I swear I would live in a nudist colony where I didn't have to be bothered with clothes at all.
But alas, I don't have one, so here I remain, clothed and hot.

You should be a nudist anyway. It´s not about having a killer body, it really isn´t. I love being a nudist, only at home for now, as here in Chapala/Ajijic I don´t know of any place where you can be nude outside at the Lakeside. I also don´t know of any nudists here either, where we might get together at someone´s home. Be nude at home, it´s also great for kids, they take to it very naturally.
As my wife has gotten older, 70´s, she not nude often, body change and all that, but she, her daughter and I would go nude when we found a nice stream while hiking in the mountains in the US.
