The trek to the gay nude beach in Sitges, not only challenged my hiking skills, weak ankles and treacherous rocks ready to sweep me off the trail.

I asked Neal, “Should we keep going?” We chose the quick hazardous lane. Upon our entrance, we treated ourselves to a short nap after the satisfaction of conquering the precarious elements. When I removed my clothes, Neal laughed at my paleness.
