ciara comes to visit

in november, karisa's younger sister, ciara came to visit. it was so much fun to have someone from america come to visit! she kept playing us pop songs from the radio and laughing because we had never heard them before. when she got here we took her up high to see the views from notre dame, the eiffel tower, sacracour and the pompidou. then we took her underground to see the catacombs, le caveau des oubilletes, and a cemetary. basically, we made her take a lot of pictures of old, dead things. haha, she kept laughing at us for taking her to such creepy places, but we all had a lot of fun.

scary markings on the wall.


very low ceilings.




now this is some night photography from when karisa and ciara went on a walk at night. all of the photos are taken by ciara and they're all pretty great.
