señor mcdonald

yes. that's right.

i ate at mcdonald's.

in spain.

at first i was feeling a little shameful.

1. i simply just don't eat fast food!

2. an american chain while in spain. (that rhymes)

but then i got over it...i was hungry! and it was open after our long walk back from the futbol game.

"california grill"

apparently mcdonald's is better in europe. i realized i can't confirm that because i can't remember the last time i had it at home, but either way... i enjoyed the burger!

also, we went for mcflurries after our 8 mile senderismo (hike) and i've come to a few conclusions:

1. that place was hoppin'. seriously. spaniards love it. i'm only trying to fit in around here.

2. most of them were getting ice cream. they obviously know where it's at.

3. it's a bargain. i haven't been real impressed with the ice cream here. let me tell you, it's no gelato. and they're pretty stingy with the dipping. you can get one teeny little ball of ice cream on top of your cone (not inside of it) for 2.30. that's euros. not dollars. you can get a whole mcflurry for 2.30...and it's so much more bang for your buck (and your mouth)!

4. you can mix a sauce (chocolate, white chocolate or caramel) with a topping (oreos, kit kat, crunch or peanut m&m's) to get so many different variations!

5. it just makes me so happy.
