Pom Frites



The last time we visited France we were on a cruise ship. Like most cruise lines, this one offered shipboard Internet access so we could keep up with email, post photos, etc. Also like most cruise lines, they charged so much for this service that absolutely NO ONE on board could afford to use it. No worries. We’ve learned a few things in our travels. 1) Nearly everywhere you go, you’ll find a McDonald’s there. 2) The McDonald’s will have clean, free bathrooms and free WiFi. It took us a while to find the golden arches in Dunkirk, but when we got there we found several passengers and crew members from our own ship had arrived before us. They do serve French fries at McDonalds' in France, though the French don't eat them with catsup (much less fry sauce). Apropos of nothing, if you order milk at a Mickey D’s in France, it will come steaming hot. I’ve no idea why.
