Ciara's Reaction to Chs. 11 and 12

I am getting tired of Sal's same sh*t...the perfect way to describe him: restless.  No matter where he goes, he wants to leave within a matter of a few weeks.  He gets tired of one place and decides to move somewhere else, so sure that he will be happy in his next destination.  In this segment of the book, he moves to San Francisco to stay with his friend Remi.  Just like the rest of Sal's "friends" right now, Remi is a mess.  He is trying to live a life in which he does not belong, and Sal becomes disenchanted with living this fake life.  In the beginning of the book, Gabe mentioned in a blog post that he wasn't sure why it was called On the Road because Sal reaches Denver within the first 40 pages; however, now I see that Denver never really was his final destination.  Sal just keeps heading more and more West searching for all the false promises that come with living in the West, but there is only so far West one can go.  He is already in California, the far West Coast.  He decides to go South to L.A, his next place where he hopes to find fun and purpose.  As usual, Sal finds a woman who he wants to have sex with, and as always, it is meaningless sex with a random woman Sal meets at the bus stop.  

I am not sure what Sal is looking for, and I'm not sure if he knows himself.  The fact that he keeps moving on, unsatisfied, makes me think that he is looking for something that it is impossible to find.  I guess if even he does not know what he is looking for, he would not know when to stop.  I am interested in finding out when Sal will eventually stop, and what causes him to end his adventure on the road.
