Dopo quasi un anno torno a scrivere sul mio blog dedicato al mio futuro viaggio negli Stati Uniti d&#39;America. Purtroppo, o perfortuna, ho dovuto posticipare il tutto di un anno per via della mia candidatura ad un dottorato di ricerca. Missione che ho completato con successo, ovviamente! Il sogno, comunque, non è mai svanito ed ora è più vivo che mai.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
A dimostrazione di ciò ho deciso di consigliarvi un libro che ho appena terminato di leggere. Il titolo in questione è &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.it/America-perduta-viaggio-attraverso-gli/dp/880788075X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1375610432&amp;amp;sr=1-1&amp;amp;keywords=America+perduta&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;America Perduta. In viaggio attraverso gli USA&lt;/a&gt;&quot; (il titolo dell&#39;opera originale è The Lost Continent, 1989) di &lt;a href=&quot;http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Bryson&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Bill Bryson&lt;/a&gt;. Conoscevo già l&#39;autore per aver letto il suo libro &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.it/Breve-storia-di-quasi-tutto/dp/8850215495/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1375610322&amp;amp;sr=1-1&amp;amp;keywords=breve+storia+di+quasi+tutto&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Breve storia di (quasi) tutto&lt;/a&gt;&quot; (che vi consiglio con tutto il cuore) e così ho deciso di leggere il diario del suo viaggio attraverso il suo paese natale.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Bill nasce a Des Moines, Iowa, ed è proprio da li che ha inizio la sua avventura. Insieme a lui percorrerete più di 22.000 chilometri, visitando quasi tutti gli stati. Ogni frase del libro è caratterizzata dalla mai banale ironia dell&#39;autore che è in grado di rendere un diario di viaggio appassionante e mai noioso. Vi posso assicurare che, se come me, siete interessati ad intraprendere un simile viaggio non potete partire senza aver prima letto questo titolo.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Buona lettura.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

Eccomi pronto a raccogliere la sfida lanciata dal carissimo socio. Purtroppo arrivo in colpevole ritardo, causa un periodo di studio intenso dovuto all&#39;università: cercherò comunque, con le mie prossime righe, di surclassare in qualità e quantità le ragioni di Bruce in modo di farmi perdonare e di farmi offrire da voi, nostri affezzionatissimi lettori, diversi click sui nostri ads così da sponsorizzare una nostra cena in terra a stelle e strisce!

Premetto subito che la mia non sarà una classifica, ma una semplice lista senza graduatoria. Non penso che uno dei motivi che vi esporrò ne prevalichi un&#39;altro, ma invece che tutti questi mi portano a desiderare di attraversare gli states.

...eeeeh lo so, vi ho incuriosito! Buona lettura, allora!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;***For English speaker: i&#39;m not as good as Bruce to transalte, so the english version of this post may take a bit more time to be published, sorry ^^*** &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Sono da sempre un malato di cinema, e non ho ancora incontrato qualcuno con una videoteca casalinga più ampia della mia. E&#39; quindi imprescindibile non poter amare la produzione americana, dai blockbuster dal numeroso pubblico ai film di nicchia considerati solo da pochi eletti. Cosa c&#39;è di meglio se non camminare lungo la famosa walk of fame, dove nomi immortali vengono riportati su delle stelle stelle incastonate a terra? Lungo quei 3 chilometri farò esplodere la testa a Bruce a suon di &quot;OOOOh guarda quella!&quot;, &quot;No, c&#39;è anche lui!&quot;, &quot;Questo è famosissimo!&quot;; preparati!&lt;br /&gt;

E&#39; stato proprio in America che molti generi hanno trovato la loro nascita, con ovvie evoluzioni fino ad arrivare a dare forma a tutte le varie sfumature che conosciamo oggi. Peccato che proprio il genere più in voga ai giorni nostri, cioè la musica dance e tutti i suoi derivati, sia quello che io più odio (al contrario di Bruce, che invece apprezza: ricordati che la musica in macchina sarà equamente scelta!). Devo ammettere che ho un debole per la maggior parte della musica anni &#39;80 e simili: certo, prediligo più il rock n&#39;roll, però anche l&#39;idea di toccare tutti quei posti dove il jazz e il blues sono nati mi affascina molto. Inoltre tutta la musica nel mio lettore mp3 è straniera, e visitando tutti i luoghi che abbiamo previsto c&#39;è la forte possibilità di incontrare i miei idoli per la strada! Poca soddisfazione!&lt;/div&gt;

In comcomitanza a tutto ciò, devo anche farvi conoscere la mia passione per gli Hard Rock Cafè, catena di locali presenti in tutto il mondo. Di questi mi piace l&#39;atmosfera al loro interno, gli &quot;arredi&quot; che in ogni locale sono diversi e rappresentano cimeli di star della musica, mi piace la colonna sonora che ogni sera ci può accompaganre lungo una cena... insomma, avete capito. La cosa particolare è che ogni locale ha un suo negozio nel quale si vendono abbigliamento e gadget griffati col logo e la città dove si è.

Qual motivo migliore per andare in un posto se non voler visitare qualcosa di unico al mondo? Tutte le volte che ho parlato con qualcuno a proposito del coast to coast e tutte le volte che ho letto opinioni mentre mi informavo il commento più frequente era &quot;Eh, è grande...&quot;: io son dell&#39;opinione che questa grandezza non sia effettivamente capibile se non la si vive, se non si percorre di persona la tipica strada in mezzo al nulla che collega Las Vegas al Grand Canyon, Denver a Dallas, e altri mille esempi. Il tutto sembrerà più un&#39;avventura che una vacanza, e questo ci piace assai.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

Mediamente associamo il popolo americano per le stranezze che a noi sembrano fuori dal mondo: tornei di braccio di ferro, gare di mangiatori di hot-dog, programmi televisivi che a volte definire imbarazzanti è dire poco. Di tutto questo spesso si ride, si sa che tutto il mondo è paese e ce ne facciamo una ragione. Molte altre volte però ci arrivano notizie che ci atterriscono&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;e che sappiamo essere tipicamente americane: il primo esempio che viene in mente è lo strano rapporto con le armi in suolo americano. In molti stati avere un&#39;arma in casa (o ancora meglio girarci per strada) è la prassi e a molti non sembra un&#39;esagerazione. Anche di fronte a episodi come quello accaduto alla scuola di Columbine non sono riusciti a smuovere questa situazione e le varie manifestazioni contro la vendita semilibera di armi sembrano non sortire effetti. Ho visto diversi documentari sulla questione, e certe situazioni mi sembrano al limite dell&#39;assurdo: armi al supermercato? proiettili dati per strada come campioni gratuiti? gente che per divertimento spara a caso in un bosco?? Certe cose mi sembrano così assurde che non posso pensare siano vere: bisogna andarle a verificare.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Già mi immagino lo sceriffo che ci ferma in macchina e appoggia il suo fucile sul cofano della macchina, e con sguardo minaccioso coperto coi suoi rayban ci domanda: &quot;e voi che ci fate qui?&quot; con un tono degno del peggior film di Tarantino. Chapeau! &lt;/div&gt;

Da buono studioso di chimica organica quale sono e da persona tutto sommato sportiva, stò molto attento a quello che mangio e cerco di bilanciare quanto meglio possibile la mia dieta. Un&#39;altro &quot;lato oscuro&quot; del paese più potente del mondo (Cina permettendo) è il fattore cibo. Sembra che in america quasi la metà della popolazione sia obesa, e ci sia anche la più grande incidenza di malattie legate a questa problematica. Anche su quest&#39;argomento mi son visto una buona dose di documentari e letto diversi articoli: possibile che si mangi così male? Chissà che genere di ristoranti esistono in America, oltre ai fastfood!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Tutto ciò poi ci pare ancora più impossibile visto il posto in cui viviamo: sono conscio di provenire dal paese considerato il migliore al mondo in qualità del cibo, quindi penso di essere molto ben abituato.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
E queste cose messe insieme fanno temere il peggio: riusciremo a sopravvivere? In realtà avendo già girato parecchio il mondo ed essendo in grado di adattarci, penso che io e Bruce non avremo problemi e riusciremo ad arrivare alla fine del viaggio più o meno in forma. Però potremmo far partire la scommessa: di quanti chili ingrasseremo? A chi commenta e vince un simpatico premio in regalo ^^&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Serve un motivo?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ultimo ma non ultimo: quando a qualcuno piace viaggiare ed è curioso di scoprire posti nuovi, non ha bisogno di motivazioni particolari. Io parto con la semplice volontà di visitare un posto nuovo e che magari non avrò più possibilità di rivedere, di provare a rapportarmi con le persone che lo abitano e capire il loro punto di vista, confrontare ciò che vedo con quello che sono abituato ad avere sotto gli occhi tutti i giorni. Non ho avuto la fortuna di conoscere tutte le persone che ha invece conosciuto Bruce con le sue esperienze all&#39;estero, ma solo di avere brevi contatti con alcune di queste: spero che questo viaggio sarà un&#39;occasione per allargare le mie conoscenze e rivedere chi, anche se per poco, mi è stato vicino.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh mio Dio, son diventato sempre più sentimentale! Meglio che la smetta altrimenti vi innamorerete tutti di me e sarebbe un problema partire in 47294638877 tutti insieme attraverso l&#39;america!&lt;br /&gt;
Magari son riuscito a cogliere dei &quot;motivi&quot; di viaggio più convincenti di Bruce, magari voi che leggete ne avete altri da proporci e che ci sono sfuggiti... Bhe, non aspettiamo altro che leggerli!&lt;br /&gt;

I am at the barber shop and I have to wait for a hour and a half. I do not really want to read the usual lifestyle, fashion or gossip magazines in front of me. So, what else could I do? Writing a new post on this blog seems a pretty neat way to spend the time. Sit back and enjoy the reading then, because today I have some interesting thing to tell you about. Have I caught your attention? No? Well, good for you, you&#39;re safe!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

Case closed&lt;span class=&quot;atn&quot;&gt;&quot;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;Today, however,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;I am going to tell you the 5 main reasons that inspired me more than all the others. S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;ome of them are pretty&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;obvious,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;whil others a little&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;less.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

One name: &lt;em&gt;Jack Kerouac. &lt;/em&gt;One book: &lt;em&gt;On the road&lt;/em&gt;. For those who have read it, there is no need to explain why I mentioned it. For those who have not done it yet, well, do it as soon as possible! One of the most beautiful literary works I have ever read. And to think that the first time I even dropped it!!! What a sacrilegious act!!! Only this book then? That&#39;s it? Plain Banal! So here you are a couple of other pretty good writers. &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;Cormac&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;McCarthy,&lt;/span&gt; whom &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;you&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;surely heard of thank to books&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt; like&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps atn&quot;&gt;&quot;&lt;/span&gt;No Country &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;for Old Men&quot;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;&quot;The Road&quot;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;Don&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;DeLillo&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;with&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;&quot;Americana&quot;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;Kurt&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;Vonnegut&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps atn&quot;&gt;and his &quot;&lt;/span&gt;Slaughterhouse&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt; #5&lt;/span&gt;&quot; and &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;Joe&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;R.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;Lansdale,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;author&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps atn&quot;&gt;of the trilogy &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;atn&quot;&gt;Drive-&lt;/span&gt;In&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;2nd place, silver medal, for: &lt;em&gt;strange things, places and facts!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

Cities belonging to fundamentalist polygamous Mormons, Amish villages, Demolition Derby races, vampires from Louisiana, the prison of Alcatraz, museums of the worst art in the world, random forces of gravity, and so on. I could go on for hour and if you are not convinced yet that US are a characteristic country keep following our blog and you will soon change your idea!

People can&#39;t control  their heart. I had to put my American friends at the top of the list! I have shared many beautiful experiences with them and I have not seen them in almost 2 years. &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;They come from&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;all over the United&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;States and&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;only&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;a trip like this&lt;/span&gt; will &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;give me&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;the opportunity to&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;meet as &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;many as I can. Unfortunately I already now that I won&#39;t be able to visit them all! Can&#39;t wait to meet you all guys!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;Weel these were my main reasons. Do you approve them? And which are yours? Now I challenge my misterious colleague L. to put up a ranking as awesome as mine! Let&#39;s see what you can do!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sono dal barbiere e devo aspettare un&#39;ora e mezza. Voglia di leggere i soliti &lt;em&gt;GQ&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Tutto Motori&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Chi&lt;/em&gt; e &lt;em&gt;Donna Moderna&lt;/em&gt; pari a zero. Che fare allora? Scriviamo qualcosa su questo blog dato che è un po&#39; vuoto. Mettetevi comodi e  godetevi la lettura perché oggi, come direbbe il buon vecchio Ste J (Steve Jobs), ho alcune cose molto interessanti di cui parlarvi. Ho catturato la vostra attenzione? No? Beh forse è meglio cosi, vi siete salvati!&lt;/div&gt;

Cosa mi ha realmente spinto a pianificare un simile viaggio? Vi sono numerose motivazioni tra cui anche quella &lt;em&gt;“Perché l’America è figa! Punto!”&lt;/em&gt;. Oggi però ve ne elenco 5, alcune scontate, altre un po’ meno. Eccole qui.&lt;/div&gt;

Sono appassionato di Football Americano. Mi sono innamorato di questo sport nel 2011 e non riesco a farne a meno. Purtroppo visiterò gli Stati Uniti proprio nel periodo in cui sia il campionato professionistico che quello universitario sono fermi e non potrò gustarmi nessuna partita dal vivo. Visiterò comunque qualche stadio e acquisterò un bel po’ di gadget, i quali  necessiteranno di un bagaglio aggiuntivo molto probabilmente. Farò girare l’economia americana!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Al 4° posto, medaglia di legno per: &lt;em&gt;Ma com’è bella la città!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Deformazione professionale e amore incondizionato. Questo è ciò che è per me la città. Sono spinto da un enorme desiderio di visitare le enormi metropoli americane con i loro downtown e suburbia. Ho studiato sostenibilità urbana all’università per molti anni e in molti casi si prendono come esempio le città americane. Non vedo l’ora di vedere di persona quello che ho studiato per anni sui libri! Annoierò il mio seguace compagno di avventura con noiose nozioni di sostenibilità e ambiente per tutta la durata del viaggio. Tiè!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Entriamo nelle posizioni che scottano! 3° posto, il gradino più basso del podio va a: &lt;em&gt;Letteratura Americana.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Un nome: &lt;em&gt;Jack Kerouac&lt;/em&gt;. Un libro: &lt;em&gt;On the road&lt;/em&gt;. Per chi lo ha letto non c&#39;è bisogno di spiegazione alcuna. Per chi non lo ha ancora fatto, beh, fatelo! Una delle opere letterarie più belle che io abbia mai letto. E dire che la prima volta lo avevo pure abbandonato!!! Sacrilegio!!! Solo questo libro? Scontato! Quindi eccovi un altro paio di nomi niente male. &lt;em&gt;Cormac McCarthy&lt;/em&gt;, di cui avrete sicuramente sentito parlare a causa di romanzi come “Non è un paese per vecchi” e “La strada”. &lt;em&gt;Don DeLillo&lt;/em&gt; con “Americana”. &lt;em&gt;Kurt Vonnegut&lt;/em&gt; e il suo “Mattatoio n.5”, per chiudere in bellezza con &lt;em&gt;Joe R. Lansdale&lt;/em&gt; autore della trilogia “Drive-In”.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Secondo posto, medaglia d’argento, per: &lt;em&gt;Cose, Luoghi e Fatti particolari.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

Città di Mormoni fondamentalisti poligami, villaggi Amish, gare di Demolition Derby, vampiri della Louisiana, prigioni di Alcatraz come se piovesse, Musei della peggior arte mondiale, forze di gravità a caso, e così via. Potrei continuare per ore. Se non siete ancora convinti che gli Stati Uniti non siano un Paese particolare allora non vi resta fare altro che continuare a seguire il nostro blog e vedrete che, prima o poi, convinceremo. Nel frattempo cliccate le pubblicità così allenate l’indice e noi riusciremo forse a prendere l’aereo per ritornare a casa!!!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Al cuor non si comanda e loro non potevano che finire al primo posto della mia classifica. Ho numerosi amici che vivono negli Stati Uniti che non vedo da più di un anno ormai. Come passa il tempo. Ho passato con loro mesi fantastici condividendo un sacco di esperienze. Vengono da ogni parte degli Stati Uniti e solo un viaggio come questo mi da la possibilità di salutarne il più possibile. Purtroppo già so che non riuscirò a visitare tutti. Non vedo l’ora di riabbracciarvi ragazzi!!!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Bene, queste sono le mie principali motivazioni. Vi gustano? E quali sono le vostre? Ora lancio una sfida al mio misterioso collega L. a stilare una classifica almeno bello quanto la mia! Vediamo cosa sai fare!!!
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;img alt=&quot;USA&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKPO6cR7lMsVfXi0YZOw0l2WZArYo-yx_6aGA_fibGMm4vltfiVy5yxlsrtGN0-BtltCxYqow9ttEYiB8zOOUK9jKL_pEVehHAJUAqAvwQ0ZVAao1taWRAxUsiTg9O2GWN6KSv8w-4QSo/s1600/usa.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The second episode of our series of meetings took place in the same pub  were all the project began to take shape. Maybe the last time we left without  ordering enough fries. We just can’t get enough!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Everything was done without any hurry. The goal was to add and fix some  details about the stops of the travel and to decide a definitive itinerary, so  as to be able to start thinking about plane tickets and other things.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
We were always seated in an outside table, because the temperature was  much comfortable and our hope was that the waiting time didn’t prove to be as  epically long as the last time (45 minutes): we were not that hungry, but they  risked that I started a revolution with the other customers in order to assume  the control of the kitchen. Free sauce! For the King!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
As soon as we seated, I threw in front of Bruce all the various  hypothesis of journey I’ve planned: the West and the East coast stages were practically  the same of him. The difference was in the middle. In the end we decided to  take a longer road, but much safer (we hope) than the original one.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Somehow, it makes me laugh to think about me and Bruce, in the middle of  the Death Valley, with the car broken, throwing blasphemies to all the Saints  and Gods in the sky, starting with the Olympus and finishing with the Heaven.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
This time, for dinner, we ordered only a small sandwich and something to  drink, and the inevitable portion of French-fries  which replaced the huge quantity of the last time… We just wanted to take revenge  of the last time and to have the satisfaction of seeing the bottom of the dish! We NEVER lose!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Upcoming episodes: plane tickets and “How many days we’re  going to spend in each town?”! Stay Tuned!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
K&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Image&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnWotVcfSpKba5ewAgi8r6HX_bWTfvTjf2W78tnHC2e9gdFgV0x2L4LVxCa9Lkxpcig1SBTR2Ix0ChUKWRlAXtv8tGHIr1-2HOaqyPUd64n6HOLsw6eg0XQ3FYBXYi5PDikPrvysrCY38/s1600/italy.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Il secondo appuntamento  della nostra serie di riunioni viene svolto nello stesso posto dove il tutto ha  cominciato a prendere forma. Forse eravamo andati via senza ordinare abbastanza  patatine, non ci basta mai.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Il tutto si è comunque  svolto senza troppa fretta, l’obiettivo della serata era limare i dettagli  sulle varie tappe e darci un itinerario definitivo, per poi cominciare a  pensare a biglietti aerei e tutto il resto.&lt;br /&gt;
Ci sediamo sempre su un  tavolo all’esterno, anche visto il clima più agevole, e sperando che stavolta  l’attesa non assuma gli stessi toni epici dell’ultima volta (45 minuti): ok che  non avevamo fame, ma avevano rischiato che scatenassi una rivolta dei  commensali e prendessi possesso della cucina... salsa rosa libera! per il re!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Non facciamo neanche in  tempo a sederci che lancio davanti a Bruce tutte le varie ipotesi di tragitto  che avevo composto: viene fuori che la West e la East coast nei nostri piani  sono pressoché simili, le uniche differenze sorgevano nella parte centrale.  Alla fine abbiamo convenuto di allungare un po’ il tragitto, ma seguire una  strada un po’ più popolata e (si spera) sicura...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Anche se mi fa TROPPO ridere  il pensiero di noi, in mezzo alla death valley, col semiasse dell’auto rotto, a  tirare giù i santi partendo dall’olimpo e arrivando al paradiso odierno.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Stavolta ci accontentiamo di  poco, un panino pseudo grande e qualcosa da bere, con l’immancabile porzione di  patate fritte che ha sostituito la montagna della scorsa volta... volevamo solo  la soddisfazione di vederne il fondo! Noi non perdiamo MAI!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Le prossime “tappe”  riguarderanno i biglietti aerei e la decisione di quanti giorni passare in ogni  città. Stay Tuned!&lt;/div&gt;

I&amp;nbsp;started to write the list of things I want to do and places I want to visit during my coast to coast trip in the USA! Do you have any suggestion???&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;img alt=&quot;USA&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKPO6cR7lMsVfXi0YZOw0l2WZArYo-yx_6aGA_fibGMm4vltfiVy5yxlsrtGN0-BtltCxYqow9ttEYiB8zOOUK9jKL_pEVehHAJUAqAvwQ0ZVAao1taWRAxUsiTg9O2GWN6KSv8w-4QSo/s1600/usa.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
The planning of our trip officially begins on a Wednesday evening of August at a bar in Mestre. It is hot, but we decide to sit outside anyway. F..k air conditioning!!!﻿&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
No time lost. Luca and I immediately begin to talk about USA.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
The task of the day is to define the first draft of our trip, so I take from my shoulder bag the map of the United States that I downloaded few hours before from the Internet. At first glance, the States do not seem so big, but this feeling does not last long. We want to visit thousands of places and to see as many things ... and we must do it in just over a month.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
We had already decided the period of our trip, which will be between late April and early June 2013. We still decide to assign to ourselves the task to define more precise dates. I think it will be the agenda of the next meeting.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
We quickly agree on the travel directio: West - East, Los Angeles - New York. It &#39;s decided then! Like many, I always wanted to see New York, especially Manhattan and I am initially inclined to visit it as soon as possible. However, the wisdom of Luca enters into play and it makes me change my mind soon. It &#39;s better to keep the Big Apple as the final surprise, isn&#39;t it? We have also identified two other strong arguments in favor of this thesis:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Number 1. After more than a month of &lt;em&gt;&quot;on the road&quot;&lt;/em&gt; travelling, flying back home from New York will certainly be less stressful than doing it from Los Angeles.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Number 2. We will start our trip from the south and we will progressively move towards the north. In this way, we hope to find a good and mild weather during our entire trip.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
It remains to define the most important thing, the route. Fortunately, we find out that we have a very similar idea very about the path we want to follow. We will cover about 10,500 km across 21 American states. You can look at the first draft of our trip at the end of the post.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
At the end of the evening there was scent of success and french fries in the air! We definitely ordered way too many of them!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Image&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnWotVcfSpKba5ewAgi8r6HX_bWTfvTjf2W78tnHC2e9gdFgV0x2L4LVxCa9Lkxpcig1SBTR2Ix0ChUKWRlAXtv8tGHIr1-2HOaqyPUd64n6HOLsw6eg0XQ3FYBXYi5PDikPrvysrCY38/s1600/italy.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
La programmazione del nostro viaggio inizia ufficialmente un mercoledì sera di Agosto in un bar di Mestre. Fa caldo, ma decidiamo di sederci lo stesso all&#39;aria aperta. F..k air conditioning!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Non si perde tempo. Io e Luca iniziamo subito a parlare di USA.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Il compito della giornata è quello di definire la prima bozza del nostro viaggio così prendo dalla mia borsa a tracolla  la mappa degli Stati Uniti che avevo scaricato poche ore prima da Internet. A prima vista gli States non ci sembrano così grandi, ma l&#39;impressione dura poco. Vogliamo visitare mille posti e vedere mille cose...e dobbiamo riuscirci in poco più di un mese.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Avevamo già deciso a grandi line il periodo, che sarà tra &lt;strong&gt;fine Aprile&lt;/strong&gt; e &lt;strong&gt;inizio Giugno 2013&lt;/strong&gt;. Ci assegnamo comunque il compito di iniziare a definire delle date più precise. Penso sarà l&#39;ordine del giorno del prossimo incontro.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Siamo subito d&#39;accordo sul verso di percorrenza: &lt;strong&gt;Ovest - Est&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;strong&gt; Los Angeles - New York&lt;/strong&gt;. E&#39; deciso! Come molti, ho sempre desiderato vedere New York, soprattutto Manhattan e sono inizialmente tentato di visitarla il prima possibile. Entra però in gioco la saggezza di Luca che mi fa presto cambiare idea. E&#39; meglio serbare la Grande Mela come sorpresa finale no?. Inoltre abbiamo individuato altre due valide argomentazioni a favore di questa tesi:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Numero 1. Dopo più di un mese di viaggio &lt;em&gt;&quot;on the road&quot;&lt;/em&gt; partire da New York per tornare a Venezia sarà sicuramente meno stressante che farlo da Los Angeles.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Numero 2. Partiremo da Sud per spostarci progressivamente verso Nord. In questo modo speriamo di incontrare buone temperature durante tutto il nostro viaggio.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Resta da definire la cosa più importante, ossia l&#39;itinerario. Fortunatamente scopriamo di avere un&#39;idea molto simile a riguardo il percorso da seguire. Copriremo circa &lt;strong&gt;10.500 km&lt;/strong&gt; attraverso &lt;strong&gt;21 stati Americani&lt;/strong&gt;. Potete guardare la prima bozza del nostro viaggio al termine del post.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
A fine serata c&#39;è&amp;nbsp;profumo di vittoria&amp;nbsp;e di patatine fritte nell&#39;aria! Ne abbiamo ordinate decisamente troppe!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
