For our first real tourist outing, we chose a carriage ride. Apparently, routes are assigned randomly as you depart, and there are also several different companies, so conceivably you could do this several times and never have quite the same tour. Our horse was Dave. I don't remember the tour guide's name.

Our tour went down Legare St (pronounce Legree, I think) and along the Battery. Our guide was interested in ironwork, so that was a focus. There are certainly plenty of beautiful examples, but they are hard to photograph from a carriage. Maybe I'll get better pictures later on foot.

After the tour, we tried out the "joggling board" in the office.It's kinda fun to make it bounce up and down. Supposedly courting couples would use the joggling to slide together until they were nearly touching. I didn't find it slid very well, but maybe we didn't joggle hard enough.

For a perfect end to the tourist experience, we had ice cream at Kilwin's.
