Postcard from USA - 02 - Colorado (CO)

Aku sampai ke Colorado dengan flight untuk siri road trip West & West Coast, USA.

Trip ni memakan masa selama 3 minggu. Kami sewa kereta Ford Taurus yang besar dan selesa, muat untuk 4 orang !

Antara tempat yang aku sempat lawat di Colorado adalah Colorado Springs. 

 Colorado Spring

Drive jauh gila dari Kansas. Di Colorado Springs ada pusat Sukan Olympic athlete USA. Setakat lalu situ dan tengok dari luar je. Tapi Colorado Springs memang cantik. Kalau sepanjang perjalanan di Kansas pokok pokok bunga matahari dan ladang ladang, kini aku sampai di kawasan berbukit yang sejuk sejuk suam cuacanya.

Colorado Springs time tandus

Aku sempat bermalam di hotel murahan di Colorado Springs sebab tak de member Melayu kat situ.

Di Colorado Springs ni aku sempat jugak pegi melawat Royal Gorge Bridge. Jambatan gantung tertinggi di dunia. Tinggi gila. Gayat. Cuaca berkabus. Sejuk. Tapi boleh turun ke bawah gaung dengan menaiki lif. View memang superb.

Dari Colorado Springs aku ke Denver. Singgah makan tengahari kat Denver rumah member Melayu.

Kota Denver

Dari Denver terus ke Aspen merupakan tempat main ski yang terkenal di US.

Downtown Aspen

Bagi aku Aspen memang lawa gila ! Tapi barang dia mahal sikit sebab famous for ski resort. Nak tidur pun mahal. Just jalan jalan ambik gambar lebih kurang. 

Menikmati keindahan alam yang sangat lawa. Tapi masa ni aku belum sampai Canada lagi so aku rasa Aspen dan Colorado ni dah abis cantik dah.

Aspen time sejuk sikit

Seperti biasa di Aspen terjah Hard Rock Cafe.

Perjalanan meninggalkan kota Aspen memang cantik. Gunung gunung. Ada salji sikit sikit, cuaca sejuk dan jalanraya agak licin. Jalan pulak tak berapa lurus. Kena berhati hati. Tapi masing masing memang puas !

Dari Aspen dan kawasan hot springs, bergunung ganang dan cuaca yang sejuk aku bergerak ke Utah.

This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us

It's time to make our move, I'm shaking off the rust

I've got my heart set on anywhere but here

I'm staring down myself, counting up the years

Steady hands, just take the wheel...

And every glance is killing me

Time to make one last appeal

For the life I lead

Stop and stare

I think I'm moving but I go nowhere

Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared

But I've become what I can't be, oh

Stop and stare

You start to wonder why you're here not there

And you'd give anything to get what's fair

But fair ain't what you really need

Oh, can you see what I see?

They're trying to come back, all my senses push

Untie the weight bags, I never thought I could...

Steady feet, don't fail me now

I'mma run 'til you can't walk

Something pulls my focus out

And I'm standing down...

Stop and stare

I think I'm moving but I go nowhere

Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared

But I've become what I can't be, oh

Stop and stare

You start to wonder why you're here not there

And you'd give anything to get what's fair

But fair ain't what you really need

Oh, you don't need

What you need, what you need...

Stop and stare

I think I'm moving but I go nowhere

Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared

But I've become what I can't be

Oh, do you see what I see?
