McDonald's

Tonight after dinner, Ross and I decided to go to McDonald's for some French Fries and dessert. Although most people feel that it is somehow wrong to go to places like McDonald's and Starbucks when in a foreign country, I have deemed it okay. My reasoning: they are totally different places when you leave the United States (or even California).

The food in Europe tastes totally different and each restaurant has a unique ambiance. Also, many observations about consistencies within each country's McDonald's can be made:

- The women who work behind the counter are always oddly misshapen and extremely pale.

- If you don't look out the window, you can convince yourself you are in the midwest and THAT explains the decorating scheme.

- McFlurries are always out of the best flavor OR never serve the best flavors all together.

In Aragón (the Autonomous Community next to Barcelona) last weekend, we got apple pies at McDonald's (basically a fried wonton stuffed with burning hot apple slime). Since lawsuits don't really exist here, I burned myself REALLY badly multiple times. It was great.

I come home in 10 days! To the HOME of McDonald's!
