One of the best parts of Bogota is Domicilio.  It’s home delivery service of just about anything for less than a $1 most times.  Car batteries, drug prescriptions, furniture, and probably anything else you can imagine.  Including McDonalds.

Ever since I saw the first motor scooter/motorcycle drive by with the golden arches on the delivery bag, I’ve been telling Kristen that I can’t wait to try it.  She hasn’t been quite so enamored with the prospect of having a #1 combo delivered to our doorstep, but she has been supportive of my trying it.

So last night I called up Mickey D’s and ordered a Big Mac, fries, and a Coke.  With the delivery fee, it came out to be around $7.  Which is a little steep, but not when you consider that you could be sitting in your PJs eating a hot, fresh Big Mac without ever having to leave your apartment.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t exactly hot or fresh.  The bun was a little stale.  The fries were room temperature.  And the Coke came in a 20 oz bottle instead of the 32 oz paper cup I’m so used to.  Needless to say, it wasn’t quite as satisfying as I’d dreamed.  And I don’t expect to be ordering it again any time soon.

But at least I can proudly say that I’ve had McDonalds delivered to my door.
