together similar kinds ot work in different areas,
giving a truer picture of my own composite
impressions rather than the necessarily fragmented
one derived from a sequential description of the
places I visited. I left Britain towards the end of
July on the Queen Elizabeth, and arrived in New
York five days later. From there I flew at once to
Los Angeles, crossing the United States from coast
to coast in about six hours. I stayed in Los
Angeles for about three weeks and then travelled
by Greyhound bus to Madison (Wisconsin) and
then on to Chicago. I had quite a long stay in
Chicago, with a short side trip to Purdue
University in Indiana and St. Louis (Missouri).
When I left Chicago finally I went first to
Champaign-Urbana to the University of Illinois
and then to Pittsburgh. From Pittsburgh I went
roughly north again, to Detroit, and then into
Canada for a week, via Niagara Falls and Toronto
to visit McGill University and Expo '67 in
north, much of the time up the Pacific Coast,
stopping in San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.
From there I went east to Montana, in order to
spend the long Labor Day weekend—the end of
the summer holiday before the beginning of new
school year—in Yellowstone Park and the Grand
Teton National Park. Then down to Salt Lake
City. All this was by Greyhound bus, but from
Salt Lake City I went by plane to the twin cities
of St. Paul/Minneapolis. From there I continued
Montreal. I returned to the USA to Syracuse in
New York State, and then went to Boston. From
here I gradually worked my way south, roughly
down the Atlantic seaboard, to New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. I left
Washington on the eve of the Thanksgiving
holiday, and visited various places in Virginia—
Richmond, Williamsburg, and Charlottesville.
From here I took a train to Chattanooga, and then
went again by road to Nashville (Tennessee).
