F rom Miami to Los Angeles : Amer ica on Asphal t A coas t - to-coas t journey cros s ing Route 66, through dreams , deser t s , nat ional parks , ghos t towns , and the on- the- road poet ry of Kerouac. We leave Miami , wi th the sal ty scent of the At lant ic s t i l l cl inging to our sk in, to chase the hor i zon wes tward. The roads s t retch out l i ke endles s promi ses , cut t ing through blaz ing ci t ies and deser t s that seem suspended out s ide of t ime. Route 66 becomes a red l ine in the hear t of Amer ica: faded neon s igns , worn-out diner s , abandoned gas s tat ions tel l ing the s tor ies of t raveler s who never came back . I t i s an on- the- road pi lgr image, a breath of f reedom s l ipping through the weathered pages of Kerouac, wi th the engine humming l i ke a mant ra and the radio scratching out blues and rock’n’ rol l . Day af ter day, the asphal t turns into poet ry, unt i l the ocean appear s once again: Los Angeles , wi th the Paci f ic embracing us l i ke both a f ini sh l ine and a new beginning.
