Riding America is a day by day account of my motorcycle pilgrimage from Boston to Berkeley in the summer of 2003. Undertaken while on sabbatical leave from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Riding America recounts my experiences and impressions of the state of Union and the people and places encountered along the way. Richly illustrated with over 70 of my color photographs, Riding America reveals much of what goes unseen, is taken for granted, or simply ignored by most of us as we go about our busy daily lives. "This book is essential reading for anyone who has made their own journey, planning one, or is an armchair traveler." — Gregori Bresaz (world traveler)
