Today I got cabin fever and even though it turned into a gloomy wet day, I decided to break out and go for a car ride. I was so sick of eating German food that even though I rarely enjoy McDonalds, that was all I could think about eating for dinner. I jumped in my car which was parked in the parking garage (for 2 euro/day) and turned on the GPS to search for the nearest McDonalds. It was only 11 km away so I didn't hesitate before heading out on the open road.
Only five minutes into my drive I hit some traffic, it was 5:15pm so I'm sure everyone else was just getting off work. I didn't mind because by that time the sun was shining, and there was a cool breeze flowing through my car. It looked like the rain was only in a tiny part of Bad Urach, what luck!
I made a few wrong turns but still didn't care; I was out on the open road in my red Volkswagen loving life and on my way to some American fast food. When I reached McDonalds, I ordered a Chicken McNugget meal with a Cola Light. The woman working the intercom system at the drive-thru did not speak English, thankfully, I could order auf Deutsch. Once I paid and received my food, I drove to the grocery store parking lot next door and enjoyed my very hot dinner. I couldn't finish the whole meal, I was actually very excited about this because it must mean my stomach has shrunk.
After I finished my meal, I set my GPS back to Fachkliniken Hohenurach and blasted some Nena- 99 Luftballons from a CD made just for me by my friend Henry before I moved to Germany.
Now THAT's how you seize the Day!
Liebe,
Mandy
I'm sorry about your husband assignment. I hope time passes by fast. I enjoyed your McDonald's adventure. It was fun! You must be really homesick :) I only like the oatmeal and the parfait. Are there any Wendy's? Take care.
ReplyDeleteHi Jorge, thank you for the comment! I am terribly home sick and I definitely miss Matt! No Wendy's hear...super bummer because I heard they now have better fries and vanilla frosties!
