During my previous college years, I frequented the local
McDonald’s. I love iced tea (although
not quite as sweet as theirs J),
and the idea of hours of homework with free refills is pretty tempting. Although there is a McDonald’s in Granada, I
had yet to visit it since I arrived – around two months without going is a new
record for me I believe!
Today I went to Carrefour for a few items and decided to try
out the Spanish McDonald’s which is located inside of the giant building. They have a lot of similar things to those in
the US, but there were a few interesting changes. In the place of iced tea, beer is a drink
choice. Instead of chocolate chip
cookies, there are croissants, wafer cups, and other delicious-looking
pastries. Chicken nuggets come in a
nine-piece meal instead of ten. Potato wedges are a side option. A McFlurry could include KitKats or some
other option I couldn’t make out.
Overall though, same basic ideas, and more or less the same taste.
Little things like this remind me how many similarities
Spain has to back home. Of course there
are large differences, but these reminders are comforts in certain ways. I even found whistle lollipops in Carrefour a
couple of weeks ago. I used to have
these as a kid! Great memories, and I
was able to create some more by sharing this recollection and experience with
Cora and Jairus.
I am going to be out of service for a few days, but after
tomorrow I will catch up with you all Sunday or Monday! Enjoy the end of the week!
