I wanted to go apple picking, but Ana didn't feel like it. So we agreed upon spending some time in High Park and some time downtown. I haven't been downtown for a while so we were curious at what's there to see.
Turned out, there's plenty to see, especially if you're bored and yearning for a little city hype.
I wanted to visit Brookfield Place to see a World Press Photo Exhibition, so we headed there first.
Some nice, some interesting but mostly sad stories told thru photographs by award winning artists and photojournalists made a strong impression on both of us. I recommend to go and see for yourselves.
We took a walk towards the lake and on our way there we stopped at Union Station - the place I've seen only from the outside until now, so we decided to walk in and take a peek at what's in there.
Outside, hungry pigeons chilled on the Union Station sign.
Soon enough we found ourselves by the lake and enjoyed the sun and warm breeze.

After coming back towards Eaton Center and a huge meal, we needed a break so we had a coffee on Nathan Phillips Square. Plenty of people was there, despite being the Thanksgivings day, and they laughed, took pictures by the Toronto letters, posing for selfies, smiling, chattering and enjoying a beautiful afternoon. I do love to look at people sometimes. When they're happy.
We spend some time in High Park (as if that was a fair alternative to apple picking), but it was nice. Crowded, but nice. We barely found a parking spot after a while of driving around, just before we almost gave up. I swear, half of Toronto was there that afternoon.
We even made it to the Cherry beach.
It was a good weekend. I hope this weather will last.
I want to make an apple pie, so I still have to go apple picking...
