Exploring Pheonix
... A far way down on the main strip we found a place called Carlys cafe which was really funky (and cheap!). We all ordered sandwhiches on pita bread and they were amazing! Some of the other kids wanted to go have a beer so we walked around looking for one but only found about 4 abandoned houses, with lights dimmed out except a fluro coffee sign in the window, and some weird hippies out the front smoking.
