(AP) -- The horses usually roaming the streets of Colonial Williamsburg are getting a break today thanks to the sweltering heat in the region. <br /><br />Officials say the horses are off the streets today, and there are no carriage rides. <br /><br />But their two-legged counterparts are still on the job. Actor-interpreters are still outside to put on street-theater programs. <br /><br />Officials say Colonial Williamsburg's staff also is limiting the fires used by blacksmiths and kitchen workers because of the high temperatures today.Libbynoreply@blogger.com
