A Unique McDonalds
Our hotel was right across from this humongous two story McDonalds. But there was more to it than just size. It was like a museum of furniture and cultural artifacts from the 1950s to 2000. Also, on the top floor, they sold gelato in disgustingly huge porportions (even the small would feed two people) .
My blog's title originated in July 2004 as I was preparing to send my then 16 year old daughter to Annecy, France as an exchange student. It was to be a 10 and 1/2 month separation that I was sure I could not endure. BUT, thanks to the internet and blogging I survived her adventures outside of our 'nest'. Once she returned, I thought of changing the title but realized that 10 and 1/2 Months was a fitting description of the cycle of my teaching life too. Now that I am retired the days and months have much less structure but the title remains out of nostalgia for my teaching days.
