Adventure is in my blood. And I had been considering how I was going to 1 my high school graduation. I didn't just want a small party in the backyard. I started thinking about doing a solo 2 somewhere out of the ordinary. I took out maps and drew the 1, 500-mile route along which I would be 3 from the northernmost point in Norway to the southernmost section of Sweden. When I shared my plans with my dad, he 4 as I thought he would. Because I get my adventurous spirits from him, he was 5 it.
I had only been away from my home three days now, but there was an inner 6 going on inside of me. Part of me was 7 and doubting whether I really could make it. The other part of me was ready to 8 to myself and my family that I could do it by myself.
On the road, I met another bicyclist who was quite a bit older than I was. He had started his journey alone by bike at the southern part of Norway and had just finished. I could tell he had a great sense of 9. It encouraged me not to 10.
As I listened to my 11 artists on my MP4 player, I pedaled(踩踏板) with my feet. There was 12 around me for miles. 13, that wasn't entirely true. There were mosquitoes—millions of them. My arms were so dotted with bites that they looked like a topographical map(地形图). But, however 14 it would be, nothing could stop my advance 15 the destination. As you know, adventure is in my blood.
