Amanda is here! Yahoo!!!
I was so nervous waiting at the airport! Sweaty hands and all...
We settled in at my apartment, met my Parisian family, then went and had a picnic of wine and cheese and bread and pastries on the steps in front of the Sacré Coeur whilst being entertained by a charismatic Italian singer and an incredible shirtless soccer player who climbed up a lamppost whilst still kicking the ball!
Then went and met some friends in Saint-Germain-des-Prés to watch Mia perform for the Fête de la Musique...but we couldn't find her. But on our metro home we were entertained by a bunch of guys freestyle rapping in French. A great day!
Also had a revelation about the opening song to Steph: The Musical. I've gone back what I initially began with, but changed the chorus from "I'm Going To New Zealand" to "Get Me Outta Here!":
So get me outta here!
Take me as far away as I can go.
Just get me outta here!
Step on it pilot! Don’t go so slow!
I’ve been waiting so long to escape this place,
I need independence. I need my own space.
So leave me alone and give me some air!
Get me outta here!
I'm just going to use the song to get her from Canada to NZ. Not try and do the whole NZ trip in one song. It's too hard for now And I like it. It has a funky rebellious flare...and hopefully it's less 'Boy Scout'.
