Mei 13, 2022: Elbasan

J. Ua ʻōlelo pinepine ʻia ka mākeke ʻo Elbasan iā mākou i ko mākou huakaʻi ma Albania a hiki i kēia manawa. Ua heluhelu mākou ma kahi alakaʻi huakaʻi a ma kahi blog i manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia ka mākeke nui loa a nani loa ma Albania a ʻo ia ka mea maoli. ʻOiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole mākou i makemake e poina i kēia! ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻoiai ma hope o ka noiʻi nui ʻana, ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke ʻike i kekahi mea e pili ana i ka mākeke ma waho o nā ʻoiaʻiʻo / koi. ʻAʻole mākou i ʻike i hea a i ka wā e kū ai ka mākeke. Ua manaʻo wale wau ua hoʻomanaʻo wau i ka heluhelu ʻana i kekahi wahi ua like ia me nā kakahiaka i kēlā me kēia lā, akā ʻaʻole maopopo iaʻu.

No laila, ala mākou i ka wanaʻao ma Belsh i ka Pōʻalima a holo mākou i Elbasan me ka ʻole. Ua kaʻa mākou a puni ke kūlanakauhale e ʻimi ana i nā poʻe me nā ʻeke ʻiʻi piha i nā mea kanu a i ʻole nā hui lehulehu a i ʻole nā hale kūʻai ma ka laulā. Ma ke kūlanakauhale nui ʻehā o ka ʻāina, ʻaʻole maʻalahi ka loaʻa ʻana o "ka mākeke nani loa a nui loa ma Albania" inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i ʻike i hea a i ʻole he aha kāu e ʻimi nei (hale kūʻai?, market square?, alanui mākeke?) . Nui nā mea e hana nei ma ke kūlanakauhale, akā ʻaʻole i loaʻa iā mākou nā hōʻailona paʻa o kahi mākeke. No laila ua hoʻoholo mākou e kaʻa a hele i ka wahi paʻa i kēia manawa i hōʻike ʻia ma google maps. Ua paʻahana loa ma laila, ua piha nā hale ʻaina alanui a i kēlā me kēia manawa ua loaʻa iā mākou nā hale kūʻai kūʻai pākahi ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke alanui. Ua loaʻa hoʻi iā mākou kahi mākeke liʻiliʻi kahi e hiki ke kaupaona ʻia a hoʻoponopono ʻia kāu wati, akā maopopo mākou ʻaʻole mākou i hiki i ko mākou wahi i hele ai.

I ko mākou nīnau ʻana i kahi wahine e pili ana i ka mākeke, wehewehe ʻo ia i ke ala e hele ai i nā mākeke Jumbo a me Spar. ʻAʻole a hiki i ko mākou noi ʻana iā "Bazar" ua ʻike mākou aia ma kahi o ke alanui mai Jumbo a me Spar ka mākeke a mākou e ʻimi nei. (No ka poʻe e hoʻāʻo nei e ʻike i kahi o ka mākeke: Aia ma ke alanui ʻo Rruga Thoma Kalefi, ma ka ʻaoʻao hema ma ke ʻano o Jumbo a me Spar a ua kaha ʻia ʻo "Tregu i ushqimit" ma Google Maps.)

Ma ke alanui, ua nui na hale kuai lole lole a me na lole. Ua komo mākou i loko o ka mākeke i uhi ʻia, e like me ka hale kūʻai a hoʻopuni ʻia e nā mea kūʻai meaʻai a me nā mea kūʻai huaʻai. Aia kekahi mau hale kūʻai kūʻai paʻakai a me nā meaʻai waiū ʻē aʻe a i ʻole nā mea ʻono. Ma ke kakahiaka Poalima i ka hapalua o ka eiwa, aole pau, aka, ua paa ka hapa nui o na keena, nui na kamaaina e kuai ana, a ua oluolu ka lewa, aka, ua paahana loa. Ua hoʻopaʻa pū mākou i nā mea kanu a me nā huaʻai a kāhāhā mākou i ke kumukūʻai o nā kumukūʻai. Ma kahi kū hoʻokahi ua uku mākou i 40 lek wale no nā kukama ʻehā, ʻelua zucchini a me kekahi mau aniani, ʻo ia ka like me 32 keneta!

Akā naʻe, ua hōʻeha mākou i ka mākeke. Ua manaʻo nui au mai ka "mākeke nani a nui loa ma Albania". ʻOiaʻiʻo, ma ke ʻano he nani ka mākeke, akā ʻaʻole nui loa. Akā ua maʻa paha mākou i nā mākeke nani a nui i nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Asia, ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke loiloi pono. Akā inā e holo ʻoe ma kahi kokoke i Elbasan, pono ke kūʻai aku i nā mea kanu a me nā huaʻai. (Akā ʻoiaʻiʻo nō paha ʻaʻole mākou i ʻike i ka mākeke kūpono loa, a ʻo ka "mākeke nui a nani loa ma Albania" ke peʻe nei ma kahi ʻē aʻe ma Elbasan.)

Ma ke ala hoʻi, hele mākou ma waena o ke kūlanakauhale kahiko, ma nā paia o ka hale kākela kahiko a hala i ka Mosque King kahiko a nani. (Eia naʻe, ua piha koʻu mau lima i nā ʻeke meaʻai, no laila ʻaʻole au i kiʻi i nā kiʻi.)

No ke ala mai Elbasan a hiki i Tirana ua koho mākou i ke ala panoramic ma luna o ka Krraba Pass. Mai luna mai ua ʻike nui mākou iā Elbasan a me kā lākou hana kila nui. I ka wā komunista, ua kapa ʻia ka hana kila "Steel of the Party" a hoʻohana i nā limahana 12,000. I kēia manawa ua hoʻohana ʻia e kahi hui Turkish. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, aia nō ka nui o ka pollution kaiapuni a me ka ea ma muli o ka hopena.

He nani nō hoʻi nā hiʻohiʻona o ke kuahiwi.
