Mc Donalds on the Road

By now it is a known fact that I am a shameless Travelers' Tales fan and for that I do not apologize. I can however give one more reason and that is Bill Fink's story, Reading Between the Arches. It is in the 2006 Best Travel Writing book. In the quest to do what many who travel do not do, Bill provides a look into the Golden Arches of Micky Dee's. Woe to those who admit scarfing down a Pig Mac while on the road. Bill not only admits it but his take is spot on. I took this picture while strolling the city of Opatija, Croatia this fall. I just gotta say that while I hate the placement, Mc Donalds is shrewd. Too shrewd in fact because living in the Hudson Valley we get amazing fresh produce and home made products. I cannot relate to a sign with a picture of a Pig Mac reminding me of home. I will admit though to using the rest facilities at more than one Mc Donalds on the road. Perhaps a picture of a clean restroom would have better reminded me!
