We were just walking away from our parked car, when these cool cowboys in their white Stetsons and Wranglers rode past the parking lot. I was very receptive to the whole cowboy style at the time and wore cowboy boots and checkered flannel shirts for years afterwards. In fact I still have my boots and even wear them now and then. But this image also summed up America to me, where horses, cars and road trips have always been an integral part of life.
