You know, I hardly ever ate at McDonald's in the States, and I had a firm policy to never go to a McDonald's overseas, because I hated being the stereotypical American.
Surprisingly, I've eaten more at McDonald's here in the last year than I have in probably the last five combined that I lived in NC. I suppose because it's one of the few convenient places we have around here, and it's comfort food, in a weird way. This morning, when Heather suggested McDonald's for breakfast, I was ecstatic. I'm not sure if this is a good or a bad change, but I will say I was thrilled about a McCafe and Egg McMuffin. Now if they had just had a McGriddle... Anyway, I was a little late getting here this morning, but it was worth it.
Our gas still isn't working, but we can heat our water with electricity. It's a little more expensive, but at least we're not freezing. I think it's Heather's fault. She went to a friend's house to shower yesterday, and --no lie -- there was no hot water there either! Crazy.
I'm off to chapel now. The worship team, all students, took a retreat this weekend to focus on making worship more meaningful. I'm really excited to see what they have come up with!
It's amazing how good fast food can taste in a foreign country -- we LOVED our Burger King in Bolivia!
ReplyDeleteMmmm...McGriddle!

Paula,
ReplyDeleteHi! I have a McDonald's near my house, as well. I don't go too often, but you're right, it's different to have it in a foreign land.
I hope you're doing well. Thanks for doing your blog so often. I also sneak a peak at your friend Karen's blog every once in a while...I LOVE her photography. Wish I could take pictures like that!
