McD's is in the hood

So several months back there were rumors that Liberia was going to get a McDonalds... this was big news, big big news. While living in the states I couldn't tell you the last time I went to McDonalds...not really a big deal, we didn't really eat much fast food and when we did it was most definitely Taco Bell. Fast forward to living in Costa Rica... while the San Jose area has many of your standard spoiled american fare, our area in Guanacaste does not. We do have a Burger King, Papa Johns, Pizza Hut and Subway, but thats not the point... Mc D's is certainly a big deal around here.

So about a month ago my friend Kate calls and says she smelled McD's french fries on the bus and asked the lady if it was opened yet...she got an affirmative and we quickly made plans to go!!! While driving to Liberia Kate informs me that she didn't actually see the McDonalds bag and now wasn't exactly positive that it was opened...so as we are driving into town we notice that the construction is still taking place and therefore we would not be enjoying McNuggets and fries that evening... so we opted for Burger King instead, no worries, it was still an excuse to get out of the house and out of Bagaces, so life goes on.

Then a couple weeks ago Kate tells me that her students said McD's was to open that Friday...it was real this time. And it was...our very own McDonalds has opened in Liberia people! Jaxon, Riley and I all enjoyed a not so healthy dinner of chicken nuggets and fries, both boys got a Cajita Feliz or happy meal and a toy, and Jax attemped going up the climbing tunnel to go down the slide and got scared again... the kid was traumatized at burger king last year when he was trying to go up and an entire bus load of young boys invaded the play area leaving him shaken inside, he will probably end up clausterphobic b/c of it...
