This shot was taken in Isla Grande's main square. Note the McDonald's Playplace flanking the Blessed Virgin (you might have to click on the photo to actually see Ronald). Here is a translation of a chat with a local on the topic:
CC: So....how did the McDonald's play equipment end up here if there's no McDonald's restaurant? [because whether I hate it or not, which I do, most people have heard of McDonald's, at least this close to Panama City]
Local: no what restaurant?
CC: No McDonald's restaurant.
Local [confused]: I don't know this restaurant. Is it from your city in the United States? Do they serve typical food?
CC: Ummm...kind of. They serve beef. um..hamburgers.
Local: I have never been to the United States, so I don't know that restaurant. If you want a hamburger, there are some hamburgers on the island.
CC: Mmmm, thanks very much. Perhaps I'll have a hamburger for lunch. See you later.
[Score one for our team! never heard of McDonald's! awesome.]
