Gas-A-Go-Go

Since today is Labor Day, Eric actually had the day off.. ..true to our nature, we took advantage of it :) Normally, he's never able to go to the town market here in Peer since he's always at work, so, we ended up spending part of the morning out there cruising up and down the street and checking out the vendors. After we picked up chicken from our favorite butcher, 2 kilo's of Eric's beloved oranges and some awesome apple strudels.. we made our way over to one of the local cafe's, took a seat and ordered some cappachinos. Europeans love to just sit out infront of a cafe, sip on a cappachino and enjoy the scenery... I think this is the first time in a LONG time that Eric and I were able to do that without rushing off to take care of more errands! Here's a pic of my cappachino... it was AMAZING!

When we were all done with the market and our cappachinos, we were gonna hit up the Total station just around the corner since the Xterra was running low on gas...aka, I was running on empty. Well, we pulled up and the pumps were out of order for the 98 pump, which is what we use. So, we had to bust out the Tom Tom to find the nearest Total considering the gas card we have ONLY works for Total..not Esso or any of the other stations in town. Nice hunh? I ended up plugging in Total stations for the local area and we were off to one near Bree. Once we got to Bree.. turns out the station it took us to was out of commission and wasnt going to be open again for another month.. just our luck! I plugged in another gas station and it took us another 15 minutes away to a town I've never been to, lol.

On our way to finding the gas station, we saw this store and the name of it just made me laugh. Doesn't look all that promising for a kids toy store...

When we finally got our gas (once the light of death popped on), Eric was talking about how he was starving and really wanted McDonalds. Yes, low and behold.. there IS a McDonalds on this side of the globe. In fact, we traveled so much to find a gas station that we ended up in The Netherlands, lol. I'll tell you what.. their McDonalds put ours to shame! I mean, REALLY! It was really nice, state of the art and their employee's were dressed VERY nice considering it's a fast food place! Not to mention, for being fast food, it didn't taste as greasy and fatty like the ones back in the States, lol
