Back in Londre

You may have noticed a gap in the Paris posts. That's 'cuz my phone battery went inexplicably dead, and since I couldn't think of anything to SAY, no pics meant no posts... For all you folk back in SF, rest easy: Bay Area food is better. And the citizens are nicer (if only superficially so). But Paris sure does have that certain je ne c'est quois. I think it's mostly about pretty vistas and incredible shopping. And honeyed slow-roasted apricots in olive oil with rosemary and vanilla ice cream. I swear to god. Try it! Apparently you've also been checking the weather reports. It's like THIRTY DEGREES!!! (I have to get used to that sounding hot, since for all their inches and ounces and pints, the Brits are totally metric when it comes to weather).
