Njengayo yonke into ekule ndawo ityebileyo yomhlaba-iifeni, iziqhamo, ii-cigar-wayemkhulu. Ibhola yokubhowula enkulu. Kwaye wayekwakhumbuza ukuba kwindawo ekuchithelwa kuyo iiholide ezingama-2 000 eehlathi elishinyeneyo, ngaselunxwemeni ekhangeleka ngathi ayitshintshanga okoko uChristopher Columbus wayibhengeza njengeyona intle ehlabathini, kuyakubakho izilwanyana zasendle, kwaye uninzi lwazo. (Unonkala omkhulu kakhulu wasuswa ngokukhawuleza, phakathi kwezikhalazo kunye nokuhlekisa okuhle, ngabasebenzi.)
Ukufika kuka-Aman kubonisa ukuba iRiphabhlikhi yaseDominican-indawo ekuyiwa kuyo eyaziwa kakhulu ngokubandakanya konke-ilungele inqanaba eliphezulu lobunewunewu.

I-Amanera ibekwe umva ngobunono, kodwa ayisileli kwizinto zokwenza. Akukho luhlu lusemthethweni lwemisebenzi-liqela elinolwazi olunzulu kwaye liyanyanzela, lilungele iingcebiso kunye neetawuli ezinuka kamnandi, ukulungele ukubamba isigwebo xa ulele ngeseshoni yePilates kwaye uvuke, endaweni yoko, kwi-trill ye-kingbirds engwevu nge-11 am I-Casita inokwenzeka ukuba ibe yindawo entle-ngenye imini, bendinesidlo sakusasa esityebileyo kunye nejusi yamaphayinaphu entsha echibini labucala, elandelwa kukuthanjiswa okuphakathi egumbini.
