New McDonald's in Rome

There was something new this morning at the corner where I change buses  on my way to school. Across the street from the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls there is now a McDonald's. 


Roman McDonald's have a feature usually not found in the American siblings: McCafe. It is a section of the restaurant with a stand up counter serving espresso and cappuccino with the typical pastries found in the traditional Roman coffee bars.

Someday it might be nice to sit on the roof under a market umbrella with a Coke & french fries and watch the pilgrims come and go from the basilica.
