No Restraints

"I had to climb over the bike seat to get from the doorway to my bed, but it was a small price to pay to take a hot shower, turn on the air conditioner full blast, and jump up and down on the bed nude while watching bad american comedy movies on cable. Let me tell you: D-cups are not designed to jump up and down on beds. They're also not designed to run after buses or to hurry up for anything. And you know a D-cup woman is having an absolutely fantastic time when she's on her back and doesn't lock her arms to her side to keep the cleavage alive. (pg 76-77 of course packet)

I believe that Lopez went on this roadtrip for one thing, freedom. She had planned a road trip on a motorcycle when she didn't even have a motorcycle less know how to ride one. Experiencing the road on a bike, with no sense of being enclosed and being completely open to nature is the most free way of doing so. She also decided to sleep "totally outside" instead of in the tent with Magdalena because she wanted to fall asleep under and "looking at the stars". After Magdalena "took off" Lopez wanted to go home and didn't know why she just didn't "take the next Greyhound bus home". She was very scared to be all alone but she wanted not to be held down by anything and be free so badly that she forgot about it all and drove her bike west. She was free, at times she was as nude as the day she was born and didn't have to impress anyone, she was completely herself, and she was alive. The days and nights she was to herself she grooved with her freedom and I believe she never felt better. She has a very vague destination, just west, has no real plans she's following, and it seems has no desire to return home, she's just one with the road. What is her true purpose if it's not just to escape, have no restraints, and be free?
