Toronto, 2

I have to admit that I took very few photos on this trip. It was nice to just BE there, and to enjoy each moment. That was perhaps the best part of being back. Everything just felt normal. Everything made sense. People were nice. (+ 2 for Canada)


We rode the subway many times, and it was so BIG. And empty. And kind of slow. But the TTC employees were in general friendly, and very helpful, something that doesn't exist here. I'll give Toronto one point for actually having a subway, but France gets two points for having a system that actually works better than having a car. We spent a lot of time waiting for streetcars in Toronto, and were inconvenienced by not one, but two streetcar diversions which were a huge pain in the cold.





We went out for dinner with our friends Mark and Alyssa, and met their adorable little girl. It was so nice to reconnect with people that we haven't seen in ages. On the way home I took some pictures walking up Bathurst, and then of the park near where we used to live (you can just see the CN tower in the distance).



We went out for dinner another night with Katie and Ross, whose wedding we were in town for. Our friend Pam has just opened a restaurant called the Brockton General, and we had a nice meal there.





We also had a nice brunch with the rugby crowd and got to meet two of their newest additions: Fred and Jing's daughter Amira, and Tony and Agnes's daughter Isabella. Plus all their dogs (Erik would give Canada +1 for that). We also spent time with Roman and Hannah, and their kids Jazmine, Sebastian and Eva. (Canada gets +4 for having friends that we have a history with)

Score: 7 Canada, 2 France
