There's no bonding sweeter than women friends skinny-dipping together. Three of my besties and I did this on a Costa Rican beach some years back (where it's highly illegal!). My sketchbook shows sand, ocean, big rocks in the water, and 4 pairs of circles with a dot in the middle of each floating in the bliss. I called the sketch "Octits." We continue to reminisce about that special day. Love your poetic essay about your experience. Delicious.
