Is maith liom ag gabhail go dTehachapi; tiomáint muid am atá caite an radharc seo. Ith muid ina bialann Mheicsiceo ar dtús nuair ag fhágail ar mhorbhothair. Ansin, chuir muid cuairt in aice leis cúig uair ar chlog leis ár chara de gnáth.
Áfach, ní raibh cuairt go easca ann. Bíonn stailc ocrais sna príosúin na gCalifoirnea go déanaí. Tá agóid i gcoinne mí-úsaid leis an luí seoil ina h-aonaracht gan teoireannachaí ansin.
Ach, níl ábalta a fheiceáil sé muid go dtí go luath. Bhí moilliú oibre ar an gardaí in aghaidh na príosúnaigh go léir ann. Mar sin, chaith sé a teacht agus a fhágail dá uair an chlog go luath cé go raibh gach cuairteoirí a fanacht sna príosún ar cheile féin.
Fhill muid ar ais abhaile ina teas an tsamraidh. Ag imeall na Cathair na hÁingeal, bhuail muid trácht is trom. D'fhoghlaim muid go luath go raibh na bóthar mór ag dúnta ó dhóiteán breosla ollmhór. B'fhéidir, bhí muid níos mó i limistéar iata í níos mó ná mar is gnách inné againn, gan amhras.
A very slow summer day.
We went back to Tehachapi again yesterday. We saw our friend in prison there as usual. Layne and I were joined this time with our two sons, as he had not seen them for a while.
I like going to Tehachapi: we drive past this site. We eat at a Mexican restaurant at the start when we leave the main highway. Then, we pay a visit nearly five hours with our friend, usually.
However, it wasn't easy there. There's a hunger strike in the California prisons lately. It's a protest against the abuse of confinement in solitary without limits there.
But, he wasn't able to see us until later. There was a work slowdown by the guards against all the prisoners. Therefore, he had to arrive and leave over an hour each early while all we visitors waited in the prison together ourselves.
We returned back to home in summer's heat. On the edge of Los Angeles, we hit most heavy traffic. We learned later that the freeway was closed from a massive fuel spill. Perhaps, we had more confinement than usual yesterday, without a doubt.
