I was thinking about it and realized we listened to a lot of french related songs because we were also going to paris. we sang the "i love paris in the springtime" song (the version from French Kiss) and we listened to the Amelie and Funny Face soundtracks.
The Amelie soundtrack (also the music from Mansfield Park) is great, relaxing traveling music. I just remembered that and thought I would share.
a hug
But where are the Sex Pistols?
Also, "LDN" by Lily Allen reminds me of London, too, but really how could it not, despite her giant bouffant?
You so lucky to be in London.
