came that summer for the first time I may have been one of the people who gave you the orientation.

The evenings during the week was the best time for us. All the guests were gone and we would go to the fish market in Topanga and get some fish for ourselves then we bought something to share and all sat on the lawn in a circle and ate grilled fish and passed around the vegies and what ever else we had. All nude of course except for the shopping. A great summer for me.
