Why can't I remember more?

2 summers ago I did a week long road trip with a couple of friends. This trip was very different than trips I had taken in the past. I have vivid memories of the books and music and transports I experienced that are tied to each place.

Eau Claire is the Twilight Singers.
Pine trees in south-central Canada are Harry Potter 7.
Parc Lafontaine in Montreal is Richard Rodriguez.
Parc Montreal itself is bikes.
New York and Pennsylvania and loss are dominated by the Arcade Fire's Neon Bible.
The New Jersey beach is Annie Dillard.

I want more. I want to remember more.
