A wooden boat in a body of water
 
This weekend I went sailing on The Tegernsee.
The weather couldn’t have been better-
clear skies,
wind-filled sails,
and a smiling sun.
It was a lovely way to spend my Saturday afternoon with my host family.
 
I also ate McDonald’s for the first time in at least half a decade.
I had the 300 cal grilled chicken wrap.
it was delish.
however, I do not know if they are in the US.
I am told that McDonalds in Germany isn’t the cheap fast food place that is in America-
that it’s actually a decent place to eat (and certainly not inexpensive).
They also have potato wedges with sour cream and chives.
but, no ranch or sweet and sour.
They are missing out.
 
Unfortunately, I did not get the chance to explore the little towns surrounding The Tegernsee,
but i’ll be back.
Sailing is a pretty big deal for my host family,
and they do it often.
 
The rest of the weekend,
I spent in bed.
sick.
including today, and most likely tomorrow.
I am not a happy sick person.
 
I hope all of you are having a very happy Memorial Weekend!

    McDonald's is so different here in France too! Mind you, In Canada it's not that bad. But here it's incredibly expensive so it's a very very rare treat. Still incredibly unhealthy but so are a lot of things.

    This looks so amazing! The views are absolutely stunning 🙂

    I also hadn't touched McDonalds for at least five years when I moved abroad. Now, I've caved a little, but in my defense I still only eat it when I'm drunk 😉

    In Brazil, Mc Donald's is actually expensive! I mean, not like fancy or anything, but it's definitely not ridiculously cheap like here. I remember when I was a kid, going to Mc Donald;s was considered a treat!

    Lovely pictures btw! It's nice that they enjoy outdoor activities and invite you along!

    Amazing pictures! The Tegernsee is so beautiful.
    And yeah, ranch is not popular in Germany at all. I have never heard about it before I have met my husband.
    Hope you will feel better soon!
