A road trip is about as American as you can get. Driving through Southern California you can get romantic about the desert and feel like Joan Didion as the desert passes by your window. The desert makes you want to build, to write, become an artist. On the open road you leave your past self behind, a person who seems a stranger now, because the scenery is transcendent. It’s changed you as you sit, snacks at the ready.
