Na\u0161e putov\u00e1n\u00ed za\u010dalo 1.9.2001 v New Yorku pot\u00e9, co jsme skon\u010dily s prac\u00ed v kempech. Z leti\u0161t\u011b JFK jsme let\u011bli do Tampy na Florid\u011b. Letenka s JetBlue st\u00e1la jen 50 dolar\u016f. V Tamp\u011b jsme se ubytovali v jedin\u00e9m m\u00edstn\u00edm hostelu (Grand\u00b4s Place, 17 dolar\u016f\/noc). Tohle m\u00edsto bylo dost sv\u00e9r\u00e1zn\u00e9, jedin\u00fd pokoj (zvan\u00fd „Train“) byl za\u0159\u00edzen ve stylu leh\u00e1tkov\u00e9ho vag\u00f3nu a asi na 3 metrech \u010dtvere\u010dn\u00edch m\u011blo sp\u00e1t 6 lid\u00ed .. Z\u016fstali jsme tam 3 dny a nav\u0161t\u00edvili mimojin\u00e9 Florida Aquarium.<\/p>\n

Na\u0161\u00ed prioritou bylo sehnat auto od firmy AutoDriveAway (zprost\u0159edkuje p\u0159epravu soukrom\u00e9ho automobilu na ur\u010den\u00e9 m\u00edsto majiteli, plat\u00edte jen benz\u00edn). Ta n\u00e1m nab\u00eddla jedin\u00e9 z Fort Lauderdale (bl\u00edzko Miami) do Denveru v Coloradu s doru\u010den\u00edm b\u011bhem 7 dn\u00ed. Byl to mal\u00fd osobn\u00ed automobil zna\u010dky Buick 1994 automat. A tak se jelo. Na Florid\u011b jsme nav\u0161t\u00edvili Miami (p\u0159ekvapilo n\u00e1s velk\u00e9 mno\u017estv\u00ed obchod\u016f se super levnou elektronikou), d\u00e1le Miami Beach a Kenedyho vesm\u00edrn\u00e9 st\u0159edisko na Cape Canaveal (vstupn\u00e9 27 UDS, ale st\u00e1lo to za to). Posledn\u00edm m\u00edstem na Florid\u011b, kter\u00e9 jsme nav\u0161t\u00edvili, byly b\u00edl\u00e9 p\u00edse\u010dn\u00e9 pl\u00e1\u017ee na Pensacola Beach (v t\u011bch dnech byl hl\u00e1\u0161en \u00fatok \u017eralok\u016f, a tak jsme se koupali sami).
\nVe m\u011bst\u011b Mobile (st\u00e1t Alabama) jsme za\u0161li do Muzea vojensk\u00e9 techniky. Zde najdete bitevn\u00ed lo\u010f z 2.SV USS Alabama, n\u011bkolik bitevn\u00edch letoun\u016f (v\u010detn\u011b B52, F14) a dal\u0161\u00ed techniku. New Orleans v Lousian\u011b je dosti unik\u00e1tn\u00ed m\u011bsto. Jeho historick\u00e9 centrum je n\u00e1dhern\u00e9. M\u011bstem prot\u00e9k\u00e1 \u0159eka Mississippi, na kter\u00e9 voz\u00ed turisty kolesov\u00e9 parn\u00edky. \u0160koda, \u017ee n\u00e1m pr\u0161elo.<\/p>\n

Texas m\u011b docela zklamal. V Houstonu jsme nena\u0161li nic vyj\u00edm\u011b\u010dn\u00e9ho, mrakodrapy americk\u00fdch velkom\u011bst n\u00e1m u\u017e d\u00e1vnou zev\u0161edn\u011bly, a ani Dallas ve m\u011b nezanechal \u017e\u00e1dn\u00e9 unik\u00e1tn\u00ed vzpom\u00ednky. Za to st\u00e1t Colorado, to je n\u011bco \u00fapln\u011b jin\u00e9ho. Oproti ostatn\u00edm ji\u017eansk\u00fdm st\u00e1t\u016fm, kter\u00e9 jsou neuv\u011b\u0159iteln\u011b placat\u00e9, je Colorado horsk\u00fdm st\u00e1tem. To je patrn\u00e9 ji\u017e na hranic\u00edch st\u00e1t\u016f Nov\u00e9 Mexiko a Colorado. Prvn\u00ed zast\u00e1vkou pro n\u00e1s se stalo meste\u010dko Pueblo na jihu st\u00e1tu a d\u00e1le Colorado Springs. Tady n\u00e1s zastihla zpr\u00e1va o tragick\u00fdch ud\u00e1lostech v New Yorku a DC – bylo 11.z\u00e1\u0159i 2001 10:00 m\u00edstn\u00edho \u010dasu. Bohu\u017eel to byl impuls k okam\u017eit\u00e9mu uzav\u0159en\u00ed n\u011bkter\u00fdch turistick\u00fdch c\u00edl\u016f nejen v tomto m\u011bst\u011b (nap\u0159. Olympijsk\u00e9ho st\u0159ediska americk\u00fdch sportovc\u016f, m\u00edstn\u00edho muzea apod.) Na\u0161t\u011bst\u00ed se to net\u00fdkalo unik\u00e1tn\u00edho m\u00edsta v hor\u00e1ch – tzv. Gardens of Gods. Jedn\u00e1 se o rozlehl\u00fd relaxa\u010dn\u00ed park. Kr\u00e1sn\u00e9 m\u00edsto. N\u00e1sleduj\u00edc\u00ed den jsme po drobn\u00fdch komplikac\u00edch v Denveru vr\u00e1tili auto majiteli. Nov\u00e9 jsme ji\u017e nesehnali, museli jsme tedy koupit 7-denn\u00ed autobusouv\u00fd l\u00edstek u Greyhoundu. Pozastaven\u00ed leteck\u00e9 dopravy v t\u011bch dnech bohu\u017eel znamenalo obrovsk\u00e9 fronty na autobusov\u00fdch termin\u00e1lech.<\/p>\n

Nav\u0161t\u00edvily jsme je\u0161t\u011b Las Vegas (m\u011bsto luxusu a k\u00fd\u010de, nic podobn\u00e9ho jsem je\u0161t\u011b nevid\u011bl), Los Angeles (velice roztahan\u00e9 – bez auta ztr\u00e1ta \u010dasu), telegraficky Chicago, Boston (prol\u00edn\u00e1n\u00ed historick\u00fdch budov s modern\u00ed architekturou) a Washington DC (B\u00edl\u00fd d\u016fm byl samoz\u0159ejm\u011b zav\u0159en\u00fd, do Capitolu jsem se dostal, ale 3-n\u00e1sobn\u00e1 kontrola m\u00e9ho batohu m\u011b celkem vyd\u011bsila).<\/p>\n

Kone\u010dnou na\u0161eho 3-t\u00fddenn\u00edho putov\u00e1n\u00ed byl samoz\u0159ejm\u011b New York. Ov\u0161em v\u0161echno, co se mohlo pokazit, se samoz\u0159ejm\u011b pokazilo. Americk\u00e9 bezpe\u010dnostn\u00ed slo\u017eky uzav\u0159ely v\u0161echny za\u0159\u00edzen\u00ed ur\u010den\u00e9 k \u00faschov\u011b zavazadel a zkuste b\u011bhat po New York s 20-kilogramov\u00fdm kufrem. Davida to natolik odradilo, \u017ee odlet\u011bl dom\u016f n\u00e1sleduj\u00edc\u00ed den. M\u011b se nakonec poda\u0159ilo uschovat m\u00e9 zavazadla p\u0159\u00edmo na leti\u0161ti. Bohu\u017eel cel\u00fd ten t\u00fdden pr\u0161elo, Socha svobody a Empire State Building byly z bezpe\u010dnostn\u00edch d\u016fvod\u016f uzav\u0159eny. Tak\u017ee jsem si pro\u0161el 5th Avenue, nav\u0161t\u00edvil chr\u00e1m sv.Patrika, Muzeum televize a rozhlasu, Grand Station, Times Square (v\u010detn\u011b m\u00edstn\u00edho McDonaldu) a n\u00e1sleduj\u00edc\u00ed den odlet\u011bl dom\u016f.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
