Since the restaurant choices in Globe are pretty bleak, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to enjoy lunch while admiring the scenery from the windows. We still managed to have a great time despite the raindrops on the windows and the haze from the rain. The cabin is very plush, the staff was exceptionally friendly, and the music was from the 40's era, which seemed to be appropriate as we found ourselves in the presence of many "snowbirds" who flock to Arizona when the cold weather hits in other parts of the country. It took two hours to make the trip over a mere 24 miles total round trip.
Upon our return we need only to walk across the street to the Holy Angels Catholic Church built in 1918 for Mass. Afterwards, since lunch was quite substantial, we decided to just munch on some snacks from the local grocery store in our room and relax.
Marty began asking me some questions about the B&B school where we are staying, and I did a quick search on google to find the history. Big mistake! I was soon delving into articles featuring paranormal activity in the very room where we are staying. Although I must say that we made it through last night without incident, Marty has spent the evening finding all kinds of creepy u-tube videos and sightings regarding this place, so I can't predict what tonight will bring. Going back in time on the train was definitely a pleasant experience, but sleeping in a supposedly haunted schoolroom is something that I think I can do without. I suppose that I'll just have to leave you guess until you hear from me tomorrow. Hopefully.......
In the meantime, be sure to check out the flickr pages from today's adventures. The rainbow over the Salt River Canyon was certainly a lucky shot.
Let us know how it goes. I once stayed in a room in a small inn in a very tiny town in Wisconsin, just across the Illinois border. My ex and I had set out for a winter weekend in Door County but made it only as far as Kewannee due to a wicked snowstorm. (I just remembered the name of the town.) Very creepy old hotel. The bartender left us with a pitcher of beer and asked us to lock up for the night so that he could go home. We were the only 4 people in the hotel. When we went back to our room, we noticed the word "murder" had been traced in the varnish of the old wooden door. Didn't get much sleep that night and got out of there as soon as the roads were reasonably!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Rebecca on this one.... I'm curious how it went last night in your "haunted" room. The train ride sounds lovely. I find the rocking of a train to relax me enormously, so two hours of that with 40's music sounds divine! (FYI, the rocking motion induces the (relaxed) state of hypnosis.) I do hope the sun makes an appearance while you're still there to enjoy it.
