It's been almost a year since I arrived in Arlington Texas after a gender bending road trip that took months. Some miles on bicycle...some on roller-blades...and more than I'd like to have on foot. I saw some really weird things whilst I was traveling. I always got a big kick outa the signs. Like "No passing" or "No crossing." Yeah like I'm gonna stop being me just because of some darn road sign.
My grandson is kinda into the whole Dora the Explorer thing so I figured I'd put a little twist on it. I was kinda like Dora. Except without the monkey. And no speaking Spanish.
Funny thing about being out there on the road by yourself...there's nobody there to tell you if you look alright or not. So ya kinda wonder when you pass through a town is somebody gonna "read" me here and give me grief. Most of the time the folks were nice. Oh I had those few kids on a friday night that hit the road drinking and yelled out from their car "you're gonna die out here!" but I didn't pay them any mind. Just a bunch of kids being kids.
I didn't bring any dresses or skirts with me. Just shorts, panties,tank tops, sneakers and a few sports bras. And lots of socks.I had to be practical.
I didn't bother with make-up and sometimes I let the hair on my legs grow a little.
I wasn't out there to impress anybody. Cuz actually there was nobody there most of the time. Just me, myself and I.
This was my time to "explore" myself and when all was said and done it turned out to be worth the journey.
Here's hoping ya'll have a similar good time exploring yourselves.
(Just a little note: Please don't even think about doing what I did. It can be rather dangerous. Especially in the heat. )
