Day 5.136: The Trojan course

Exile #2's parents have arrived and we took the opportunity to visit Troy today. We downloaded a Kindle e-book walking tour from walkthetown.com and did a part of it.

The tour itself was well worth the $0.99 we paid for it for sure - we learned some interesting facts about the buildings along the way, but to be honest in a place like Troy you can have a pretty fantastic time just walking around, taking your time and keeping your eyes open.

We started our tour at the statue of Uncle Sam, where Exile #3 was moved to do the Cotton Eye Joe dance (something to do with the baseball).



We took in monument square - and had a sit down on the multicoloured Adirondack chairs.

After admiring the frontage of Proctor's, we headed to Brown's for lunch - which was altogether very satisfactory.  They earned extra points for serving an excellent gluten-free risotto/tuna/wasabi creation for Exile #2 and for (without prompting) not putting a bread-roll on her salad.
