Outside she walked carefully back toward the villa, but first stopped at the gelato shop for a small dish of hazelnut ice cream.
It was smooth, toasty, buttery, like a beautiful liqueur, and she thought how different it was from America, where so much of the ice cream now looked like babies had attacked it with their cookies.

I was vanity-searching to check out the new Microsoft search engine, and I
found another street named for my family, Gorsline Road in Battle Creek, Mich.
It's much longer than Gorsline Street in Queens, which runs only one block.
I wonder how you'd go about using Mapquest to find all streets (or other
places) with a given name—all the Springfields, all the Elm Streets,
like that.
