Day 1: the essentials
The first day is about orientation: see the town, eat well, get your bearings. Day two is for lingering.
Aylmer Provincial Wildlife Management Area
Aylmer Provincial Wildlife Management Area makes the morning: fresh air, room to walk, no tickets or timetables. It's the kind of stop that sets the tone for the rest of the day.
Afghanistan Soldier
Don't skip Afghanistan Soldier. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
Day 2: go deeper
With day one covered, day two is for the town's other side: markets, neighborhoods, and the stops that didn't fit day one.
American Airlines Flight 1 Memorial
American Airlines Flight 1 Memorial is one of those London landmarks worth seeing in person. Fold it into the afternoon when the light is good and the pace can relax.
Bethssda East United Church
Bethssda East United Church is one of those London landmarks worth seeing in person. Fold it into the afternoon when the light is good and the pace can relax.
