IATUL 2010 presented me with an opportunity to visit the university where the first man who landed on the moon studied. Being my first trip to the States, I was excited to check out what US of A was all about. Took off from Jeddah; landed in Chicago; transited at Frankfurt. Roadtrip from Chicago to Indiana.

Stayed at Hilton Garden Inn at Lafayette, which was close by to Purdue University where IATUL 2010 was held. During the downtime, I took the time explore the university town which was pretty quiet. Saw this interesting sign in one of the shops:
Cycling fun
