On a side note, we have visited a McDonald`s in each country we stayed with the exception of Ecuador. We go for the ice cream, air conditioning and dependably clean bathrooms. McDonald’s in South America is a nice place. Some offer free use of computers with internet with purchase and there`s a separate section called the McCafe, which resembles a Starbucks. It is interesting to see the regional differences. In Argentina, they only had Barbacoa (barbecue) sauce for the chicken nuggets, while Peru and Chile had Agridulce (sweet and sour). In Chile, they have a large ice cream cone with syrup known as the McColosso, unknown in the other countries we’ve visited. In Lima, we found a McSundae with pineapple sauce, and a double sized cone known as a Supercono. Eric thinks he might accidentally order a McPollo Jr. (versus a spicy chicken sandwich) and get a funny look when we get back to the US.
