The Light of Day

A little over an hour east of our home in Gilbert, Arizona, is the copper mining town of Globe. As we entered Globe, I got off the highway and drove through downtown Globe in search of breakfast.

I noticed a cafe, La Luz Del Dia, with lots of cars parked in front of it. We too parked.

La Luz Del Dia is a tiny cafe staffed by friendly people who serve up awesome breakfast burritos for cheap. 

Our waitress and the guy at the next table recommended we check out a local store called The Pickle Barrel Trading Post. First, we wandered around downtown Globe.

After a bit of wandering around Globe, we got back into the car and headed out in search of the Pickle Barrel Trading Post. As I pulled into the parking lot, I was happy to see that the facilities were easily accessible.

The outside of the Pickle Barrel Trading Post is filled with metal art.  If it weren't for the need to haul any giant metal creature purchase around the country over the next couple months, I might have bought something. We'll have to revisit this place after we're back home.

Having failed to find any pickles at the trading post, we resumed our often-slow drive through the mountains.
