Whenever we get the chance, we try to visit the friends we have abroad. So when Martin’s best friend Philip moved to Toronto to live with his girlfriend Kat, we of course had to plan a visit!

Although November isn’t the best time of year to visit Toronto, we did beat the tourist crowds and had most places almost to ourselves. And we also managed to combine our stay with a roadtrip to the city of Detroit together with Philip and Kat, where we spent American Thanksgiving watching the traditional game between Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears.
