Well, I better finish the dramatic story of our weekend - I left off telling you that some of my fellow travelers were most likely drugged - either somebody spiked their beers or as I mentioned something was in the hippie port wine. Fortunately the rest of us were in good shape and we made sure they had lots of water and convinced them it was time to go home and not go skinny-dipping.
