So about two years ago, I took a little mini vacation to Santa Fe, New Mexico.

And everybody that I told that I was going there had one piece of advice, and that was, you've got to go to this place, 10,000 Waves.

It's this beautiful spa.

It's a Japanese spa.

And it's lovely, and you'll love it.

So after my first day of sightseeing, it's a beautiful place, you know, adobe buildings, blue skies.

I thought, I'll go there.

So I go back to my room and I look up on the internet because I'm like, I don't know what to bring to a spa because I'm not a spa person.

Because I'm staying at a hostel that costs 20 bucks a night, if that gives you an idea.

And it's like, you know, everything you need is provided.

Towels, you know, robes, slippers, and clothing is optional.

And I'm like, it's an option.

It's an option to not wear clothes.

It's not an option that I'd considered.

And so I considered it.

And I considered it all the way there, and while I was checking in, I'm like, I don't know, it's kind of weird, it's naked.

And I decided, you know, in the locker room, leave the bathing suit in the locker, and I'll do this.

Because, like, why not?

I'm never going to see these people again.

It's a chance to try something new.
