Hiking Naked

I love that the NY Times online featured a headline story about naked hikers hiking around the alpine town of Appenzell, Switzerland — where women were just granted the legal right to vote in 1990. (What?!) 

Apparently, "in recent years, it has become fashionable for a growing number of Swiss and some foreigners to wander in the Alps clad in little more than hiking shoes and sun screen. Last summer, the number of nude hikers increased to such an extent that the hills often seemed alive with the sound of everything but the swish of trousers."

That sounds awfully cold. However, Appenzell. Perhaps the home of the delicious Appenzeller cheese? YUM!
