Travels With Charley Day 14

Steinbeck moves into the Dakotas and finds himself feeling nostalgic.  As he drives through the country roads he finds himself thinking about how the hustle and bustle of the city is so daunting compared to the open aired rural country.  He also focuses on food and its freshness.  He says that our country has gotten so concerned about cleanliness that we have sacrificed taste.  This is a sad notion indeed.  Steinbeck definitely prefers the country to the city I believe.
