Last weekend Anabel my wife, our son Guillermo and I spent two days in San Juan de Alima, a small village 60 miles southbound Manzanillo, on the Pacific coast of Mexico. The beach is 4 to 5 miles long, with fine dark sand and medium size waves. Most of the beach is desert, except for some palapas and small lodges located in the middle of it, along 1000 or 1500 ft. We selected a spot located 500 ft northbound of the last palapa, installed our sunscreen, two chairs and a couple of mats. As we didn't see any people near of us, Anabel took her top off, remaining only in a white g-string. She layed on the mat, and went to the water several times without troubles. Sometimes, couples or small groups of tourists walked in front of us: nothing to comment. At 2:00 PM, when we were hungry, we decided walk to the nearest palapa for some shrimps and fish: Anabel went topfree, sat at the table and enjoyed her meals with no objections of the patrons or the palapa's owner. We returned to our sunscreen and remained there until 6:30, when the sun was hidden.

Next day, Sunday, we arrived to "our" spot at 9:00 AM. Anabel came only with her G-string and a t-shirt, that took off immediately. a couple hours later, 2 Spanish women in her mid 30's walked in front of us and asked Anabel if topfreedom was legal on this beach. She answered "sure", and in less than 10 seconds their both tops were taken off. They asked if they could stay near of us, because that way can feel safer. We, of course, accepted, and our fivesome spent the rest of the morning together.

Unfortunately we had to leave at 2:00 PM, but we'll return in two weeks more to this Eden on earth.
