Virginia Beach Nudes
Virginia Beach, late seventies, early eighties, was full of nudists.
Lady Godiva
There was this one time that my brother-in-law and I were riding around in his boat and came around Virginia Beach. To our astonishment, there was this lady, perfectly tanned head to toe, long blonde hair slapping her buttocks as she walked down the beach with her two huge dogs.
We struck up a conversation with her, just to get her to stop in front of our beached boat. The dogs eyed us like they were ready to jump aboard and chomp down on us, so we kept the conversation short and polite.
I’ll never forget that day, and neither did Luis.

Miami, FL
What can I say, it's Miami.
The inhabitants of this city prefer baseball caps over helmets.
The weekend warriors do wear helmets, but lack basic bike etiquette at times.
The delivery riders on electric bikes are just plain crazy, no road rules apply to them.
Look both ways and pray.
