What will endear a child to a city? Rhinos, cannon ball holes and....... Tonga Rides down busy streets. Horse Drawn carriages of any sort are in some way magical. There is the sound of the clip clop and the sway of the carriage and the pace. The pace seems slow and yet so fast as you watch a living being exert such power. We went from one large historical and spiritual sight to the small one. We did not go inside. We had two tired toddlers which made the Foreign Tax (350 TIMES more expensive than for a national) a little too much to swallow.
After our Tonga Treat we headed out for some yummy kebabs. Lucknow is famous for its culinary fair and I am blessed to have a neighbor from Lucknow living upstairs. She thinks I bake like a dream and we think she does meat like a queen! Banana bread for kebabs doesn't seem quite fair but she told me once her husband likes my cake "too much."
Just to keep it all in perspective here is some signage from the Residency as we have no photos from the other Too Expensive For Foreigners historical sites.

Though there are many mistakes this is just to see the main board.
The best two lines are below.
I beg you not to miss the fourth line up from the bottom!
"against hot winds of Lucknow hummer."
If you struggle to read this do not be dismayed.
