I must hurry, or I would be late for our trip to San Diego. This weekend my group from the office had decided to skip town and just leisurely float with the crowd.
We hit the first gas station and saw that the price of gas is now 4.30dollars to a gallon. My friends were a bit apprehensive considering that our trip would cover no less than 200miles, including the trip back. What the heck, we planned this trip for some time and no amount of gas price increase could dim our enthusiasm. So, we just had to contribute some more.
The trip was worth it, because on the freeway we already saw a huge
welcome street pole banner that seemed to embrace every person who saw it. Accustomed with seeing an ordinary banner where the welcome word is imprinted on a one-colored background, this particular banner we saw was a delight to see.
Traveling on the a freeway is definitely a nice experience these days, it used to be really boring particularly if you are driving alone and only the stretch of lonely highway and endless sights of green to accompany you. Nowadays, with the different banner that dots the freeway - political, social, advertising, awareness and also giant billboards - traveling has evolved as a truly engaging pastime.
Of course, our group had tales to speak of, but not with our driver who missed all the fun with his eyes all focused on the road.
