The Open Road

After all that we’ve read and seen I still love the way Whitman portrays the road. I love the idea of just dropping everything and taking off. One would be able to forget all about their problems and responsibilities and just do whatever they chose. For some reason Las Vegas immediately comes to mind. I guess because it’s known for being such a wild, irresponsible, vacation-like city. After that, I’d simply take the time to explore America because that’s something I’ve always wanted to do. I’d like to see the Grand Canyon, take a look at Mt. Rushmore, and even, stop by and grab one of those famous Philly cheesesteaks from Philadelphia. In the end, my journey would be carefree and entirely up to me.
