Ukuvakashela eGrand Canyon kwakungenye yezigaba eziphoqelekile zokuhamba kwethu kwase-US. Futhi ngemuva kwendiza ethatha amahora ayi-6 ukusuka eNew York, umngani wami sasisePhoenix. Lapho, sase silinde i-Ford Mustang ka-2012. Okusha, nge-zero mileage, ama-mustang ethu akhuphuke esikhumulweni sezindiza edolobheni uqobo. UPhoenix wayengakhunjulwa ikakhulukazi. IMetrolis evamile yaseMelika. Cishe abukho abantu enkabeni yedolobha.
Ukungasoli, ukugxila edwaleni elinzima, lapho sasizodla khona isidlo sakusihlwa, sasiseduze kwe-Basketball Arena ye-Phoenix Suns Club. Ilukuluku lami nentshisekelo yemidlalo yezemidlalo yahlupheka imilenze yami kule nsangu yezemidlalo. Khumbula ukuthi silahlekile kunoma yiziphi izinkinga ngaphakathi kwenkundla. Futhi sajabula ukuthi sathatha izithombe zenkantolo ye-basketball, ngaleso sikhathi uhlobo oluthile lwemincintiswano yezingane lwabanjwa.
Njengoba sesichithe imizuzu eyi-10 sokuhlola, saya sayoba nesidlakudla edwaleni elinzima, eliqonde emgwaqweni. Kwakungekho muntu ekhefini! Kwakuwukuphela kwabavakashi. Ngenxa yalokhu, izicupho zethu zaphenduka ngokushesha)
Sahlela ukuhlala izinsuku ezimbalwa edolobheni laseFlagstaff. Le ndawo yabonakala kithi itholakala kahle maqondana neGrand Canyon. Sifikile ehhotela vele emnyama. Ngokushesha yaqala ukwamukela ukwamukela futhi yayolala. Sibe nokukhuphuka kokuqala, ngo-7 7. Okuhle kwalokhu kwakulula ngathi ngenxa yezindawo zesikhathi. Usuku lonke lapho sasinamasondo ezinqolobaneni nangezindawo ezinhle kakhulu, angikholwanga ukuthi konke lokhu kwambuliwe. Ngiphuphe ngibona zonke lezi zindawo kusukela ebuntwaneni futhi lapha baphambi kwami, kuyo yonke inkazimulo yayo.
Imigwaqo eshiywe, enendawo enhle. Umculo waseNdiya waseNdiya, ukhala kusuka kukholamu yemoto, lapho ushayela ekubhukeni kwamaNdiya. Futhi-ke, umnyoni uqobo! Ngavele ngahlala phansi lapho ngidubula futhi ngawujabulela ukubukwa.
Umuzwa wokuthula wagcwala kimi ngaleso sikhathi. Ngiyazithanda izindawo ezinjalo ezikwenza ukhohlwe ngakho konke futhi ujabulele nje umzuzu. Akunakuchazeka! Kungumuzwa wokuthi phambi kwakho uyisithombe nje, konke kubukeka kungabi nalutho kangako ukuthi akusona isikhathi eside ukukholwa isikhathi eside lokhu kuyisimangaliso esingesihle.
Emuva kuFlagustaff safika ku-9 PM. Idolobha lincane. Ngokuyisisekelo, abafundi bahlala lapho, ngoba idolobha lineyunivesithi enkulu. Ngakho-ke, kunemigoqo eminingi, amakilabhu nokunye ukuzijabulisa kwentsha. Akukho lutho ongalubheka lapho, kepha njengoba ngishilo, lutholakala ngokuphelele maqondana ne-canyon.
Futhi-ke, izithombe eziningana ze-mustang zethu. Imoto inganekwane. UFord wasondela ngokuphelele uhambo lwethu ngale ndawo. Futhi ngaleso sikhathi, wasibizela ngokungabizi kakhulu.
Ngithanda indlela amaMelika alungele ukwakheka kwabadliwayo nezitolo zezikhumbuzo. Engxenyeni evela kuPhoenix eVeenix, sahlangana nenani elikhulu lamakhofi anezitolo. Kungaba njalo kuleli hlane labantu abambalwa abaya kulo, kepha ngisho noma kukhethwa okukhulu kwemikhiqizo ehlukahlukene ehlukahlukene.
Sihlatshwe umxhwele enye ingxenye yomgwaqo eya eVegas. Kuze kube manje, izinhlobo nezinhlaka ezilandelayo zasenza ukuthi zibancome =))
