Our hitchhaking tale. It was in Argentina, one year ago. My wife and I wanted to do hitchhiking, it would be our first time. We were in Buenos Aires and both of us are excited. Our plan was until Rosario, so it wasn't a large journey, we wanted to begin something small. It was very interesting, we woke up early and get the train and bus until an important route, after that we spent around 15 minutes to take our first helper who toke us to a gas station. Something curious happened there because after we try to find someone who supported us, we decided to leave the station and walking a bit more, outside the station, and suddenly I saw a car which didn't stop in the begin and I was joking with my wife I took out my finger to see if this time he stopped and he did it at that moment! There were a couple of friends who told us that they had seen us before, but too late to stop, and they were surprised to see us there. They arrived after us there because they didn't find a gas station in the last towns. They turned out the best helpers since they took us most of the journey, around 200 km, they gave us food, mate and we talked a lot about many things. These really nice guys left us near in other gas station and the big track with a very kind gentleman left us in the city gate! In the end we had a really great time.

Our Hitchhiking Tale

One year ago, my wife and I wanted to go hitchhiking. It would be our first time, we were in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and both of us were excited. Our plan was to casually hitchhike until we reached Rosario, so it was not a long journey, and since we did not want to push our luck, we wanted to begin it with a shorter distance.*

It was very interesting that day, as we woke up early, and then took a train and a bus which left us near a major route. Then, we spent around 15 minutes with our thumbs out before we were able to find our first ride, who then dropped us off at a gas station further down the road before going on his way. Since we then could not find another ride, we decided to leave the station and walk down the road a bit.

Suddenly, I noticed a car that had passed us, slowed down, yet, which had not pulled off the road. While signaling with my finger to see if it would actually pull over, I joked with my wife about it, and to our surprise, it did! Once we were inside, they told us that they had actually seen us earlier on the side of the road, but that it was too late for them to stop safely, so now, they were somewhat surprised to see us there ahead of them.

It turns out that they had arrived at that point in the road after us because earlier they had quite a bit of trouble finding a gas station, which held them up. That was rather fortunate for us as they turned out to be the best riding companions, and drove us most of the rest of our journey, around 200 km. They also gave us some food, and we talked a lot about so many things.

Those tremendously courteous and hospitable men later dropped us off at another gas station before they, too, went on their way. We then were later able to catch a ride in a big truck with a very kind man, who eventually dropped us off right at Rosario’s city gate. In the end, it was quite the adventure, and we ended up having not only having an amazing experience, but also having a very good time!

<em>Hi, Josue. Good job! Whatever changes I made were to allow your sentences to sound more natural to native ears, to clarify your thoughts, and for ease of reading. Sincerest apologies if I have misinterpreted. I hope that this helps you. J.</em>

<em>*While there is nothing wrong with using the words “something small,” and the concept it conveys would probably be understood by most native speakers, as you are dealing in distance, more than size, I felt it better to use words that would make that point more clear. </em>
