A happy surprise: Leticia, the young Argentine girl that I met by chance on the bus leaving NYC, has joined me in Boulder during the Jack Kerouac Festival organized by Naropa University. Since our encounter, we stayed in regular e-mail contact, and I admit I fell out of my chair when she replied saying she happily accepts the invitation I had extended to her.
I am struck by the stunning parallel between my story and Jack's. He met a young Mexican girl on the bus while going to L.A. They fell hard for each other, and Kerouac spent the best days of his life with Terry in On the Road... I wonder what the near future has reserved for me and Leti, and I do not dare to imagine the same destiny for me that Jack had...
