He has visions of Mexico, hallucinations where he sees gold pour from the sky. Sal is so high that he begins having hallucinations in which Dean looks like Franklin Delano Roosevelt and God.

In Gregoria, a small Mexican town, they stop and meet Victor, a Mexican guy who says he can get them girls and marijuana. They are fascinated by the way of life here and do not want to miss any of it. They drive through many Mexican towns, taking turns at the wheel so that they can take in the sights and sounds of the people and the terrain of Mexico. They feel they have found a true land of the "beat," people unencumbered by the trappings of money and work and white America. They pass through towns full of poor field workers, but the scene excites them. They are ecstatic at the world they have found, a world at "the end of the road." They drive through Mexico, excited at the prospect of getting to Mexico City and the adventures they will have while there. For Sal and Dean, Mexico is a "magic" land, full of cheap beer and cheap cigarettes. ![]()
