The following article is a copy and its translated version of a Instagram/Facebook post that I wrote during my bike trip in Minnesota between Augst 31st. and September 3rd.– a short travel for visiting my former major professor.

An old barn and silo keeps a shadow of good ol’ days of Midwest.On the other side of the road is an abandoned farming truck all in rust.Larger the lake, flatter the road along the side. And easy riding.Maize fields and hay fields over and over…Maize fields and hay fields over and over…Nice landscape but tough pedaling on graveled country roads…Hay rolls remind me of my Hokkaido days, where I used to work on hay fields.
