We Have a Few Confessions to Make

We broke down. We gave up. We're so ashamed. We've done a bad thing. Okay, so it's not so bad but we had to tell you guys that after two months of resisting our nation's ultimate comfort food we finally broke down. We ate at a McDonald's. We loaded up on .50cent hamburgers and french fries and even a milkshake. I was so ashamed as I carried our giant pile of "food" back to our table. One bright spot was that we were able to eat outside with a view of Piazza di Repubblica and its beautiful fountain. Still though, we were ashamed that this was the American contribution to Rome and that we were supporting it. Oh well, we're not afraid to say it, it was good and we were starving. After we ate, we swore we would never do it again but then we lapsed back a few days later and ate at a Burger King by the Trevi Fountain.

That being said, we really are going to avoid eating there again, we were just feeling really homesick and Mickey D's is the closest thing to home for us. Now if we could just find a Taco Bell our lives would be able to complete the ultimate fast food trifecta.
