English Version When I graduated from the university, a friend and I rode our bikes across various states in the US. We started in Chicago and followed through the rest of this area. At first we went to the mountains, but later we only took straight roads because we did not want to work and sweat so much. I saw a lot of interesting things, and the people I met on the road were very generous with us. One man took us in his car and let us sleep in his house. He also gave us food! In the end we wandered on our bikes for 2 months and I fulfilled one of the biggest dreams of my life.
