It started as an experiment so that I could learn the Google Maps API. You can find it at <A HREF="http://littourature.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Littourati</A>. I would love it if you stopped by and offered some comments, suggestions or reflections.<BR/><BR/>I think that for me, Kerouac's travels are a bit more than seeking the next girl/high/drink, even though his life seemed to be lived that way. I'm taken with the description of an America gone by...the kind of America where a woman driving to Iowa City would pick up a stranger in Joliet to help her drive. The kind of America where the way to travel wasn't Southwest Airlines, but a bus ticket or a thumb. The kind of America where a guy met a lot of people and learned a lot of their stories out of the simple acts of asking for information or cigarettes or a drink. I'm old enough to remember the last gasps of that America.Michael L.
