Lois expresses herself in a way that puts an emphasis on the humor and on the people she meets along the way. The observations of her companions and the locals made the story as rich as the ride itself. My own experience with motorcycle travel has lead me to the belief that itrsquo;s all about the people and Lois rides with an open mind and an open heart expecting the best from people and receiving it, more often that not.
