"I wanted to wear white cotton dresses, pick daises in a field, sing heterosexual folksongs to every cow, and have my picture taken in front of America's post offices."
The main character of this excerpt is expressing her desire to experience the road her way. She wants to play and explore and learn the country, but the woman she is with is very intent on doing rather than enjoying. The main character wants to mosey her way across America. This is a certain type of road trip, a much more sporatic type. This is the wandering discovering looking for true experiences type of road trip, rather than a get there and back road trip. The main character has a very vague definition, no discernable time limits, and no real reason to go home. Is this why her road trip is so different from the others we have read about?
