McDonalds.

So..just a word on McDonalds and Europe.

They are fricking EVERYWHERE! Almost worse than in the U.S.
It was crazy riding through the smaller towns outside of Munich Germany and seeing those golden arches every few miles!

We have eaten there a couple times and for good reason. First off, in the Florence train station it is the only food place, so we have grabbed a bite there before getting on the train. The other time was in Munich train station because I was hurting from the night before and needed food, but was a tad uneasy on the stomach so I wanted something that was familiar...not some German mystery meat on a pretzel with mustard...while normally amazing, it was a little much on a hangover stomach!

Major differences from the ones out here to the ones in the states.
Here they have curly fries! in Italy they were "Patates Vertigo" :)
Here they serve egg mcmuffins 24 hours a day
They have different sandwiches like the greek burger or the McKrocket (still not sure what is on that one)
For Breakfast they had bacon toast and their egg mcmuffins are with sausage not canadian bacon
Finally they have weird sides, like chicken wings or sausage links or shrimp.....

okay, just a little comparison with something that most people know about!
