54. We just got our 1st (ugh) McDonalds in Cuenca Ecuador.

Nov 2013

It opened around 10 days ago or so and at this point it is a 45 min. wait to buy their swill. I am hoping it is simply a novelty.

McDonalds pulled out of Bolivia after getting a big F off from the folks there.

I hope Ecuador follows suit.
