Describe the unnamed narrator's first childhood experience as a traveler in the novel, Flights?

Early in the novel, the unnamed narrator describes her earliest memory of travel. She made her way out of her house as a small child and moved toward the river. Once there, she had been delighted by the "undulating" (7) nature of the water, but also by the danger she knew lurked in the waters. All of these feelings later come to characterize her love of the journey.
