TRAVEL BLOG AND ITINERARY

Spending my 22nd Birthday in Guatemala and Belize this year was everything I ever dreamed it would be! Over the course of the 2 week adventure I read two of Kerouac's later novels, a Satori in Paris and Pic. They are both great travel books which is what he does best but they do lack the random fluidness and jazz-like qualities that make his earlier works appealing. Kerouac means "a house in a field." I know this is about 2 weeks late but it took be a while to get all the photos together. Hope you enjoy;)
