A young man walking.

As I Walked Out One Summer Morning, by Laurie Lee.

The story above it is an e-book that I downloaded from Net Library, in conjunction with the Santa Monica Public Library. This is a autobiography of a grown boy (young man) who in 1934 left his home in England for a trip that included London and Spain. I can relate to this story. It was during that time of my life when I also had such an itch. My itch was satisfied by joining the Navy during World War II. I am sure that young men today have the same itch . Today, for most it is filled by going to a university or college. Young women must have similar itch about that time of their life. Not being one, I can only speculate. I am able to follow the a young man as he moves from place to place with the google maps. You can even go to the streets and addresses while listening and moving around the maps. That is something that you could not do with a real book. I would not be surprised that in the future you will even be able to view landscapes as you listen.
