Boston with a French accent

danceboyWell, actually no, not really. But the weather today was classic New England. It alternated at least fifteen times between cold rain, light sun shower, and fairly warm sun.
Yesterday we had what is reputed to be the best ice cream in Paris, and it was really good. It would stay in business in Boston. I think I prefer Tosci's, and nothing beats the Icecream-smith if you're looking for butter fat, but it was good.
We've been hitting a list we were given of the best places to go for hot chocolate. I think it's a toss up twixt Burdicks and any of these, but then there's only the one (alright, there's two, but the other one is far away) Burdicks, and there's a bunch of these.
Much like Boston, there's not really enough room for all the people, and the subway is good, but clearly organically grown rather than planned (and an accessibility nightmare (no no, much worse than Boston. Ask me about the signs that seem to suggest grabbing blind people and shoving them where you think they should go)).
And it's still just prettier than anywhere else I've been.
