We wish you a great time as we had, and hope this is a nice addition to your fun list.
Bonjou! Konmen to yê? (Hello!, How are you?)
Today we bring you a bit of early 20th Century Americana.
A wee bit of Louisiana flava called New Toulouse. This region contains 2 sims, One is Urban and the other is Rural.
The city is modeled after New Orleans, and is bustling with Voudoun shops, Jazz clubs, Processions, Art & Cuisine, just
like the real thing.
The country or Bayou is where We settled, located on the 2nd sim, and we literally haunted it for days lol.
We really did enjoy the feel of this Swamp settlement.
Natural beauty filled this entire sim., From the birds & fauna native to this landscape, to the reptilian mascots that
occupied the waters.
The time period they emulate here is b’twix 1920-1925’s rural, When it was pure and simple country living.
Although Louisiana is very diverse, southern LA had 2 larger groups, Cajun & Creole.
Cajuns are French colonists who developed their own distinct lifestyle in the swamps and surrounding areas of South
Louisiana. Intermixed in these colonies were the Creole. Creole can mean anything from individuals born in New Orleans with
French and Spanish ancestry to those who descended from African/Caribbean/French/Spanish heritage.
It was a pleasant surprise to see them keep it authentic to the way folks would’ve Built Homes & Businesses, or decorated
their yards and houses.
We recognized African influences in the decor, no doubt brought by the freedom folks as they settled in communities.
I was tickled over The bottle tree that I have known through my own Geechi/Gullah heritage.
This custom originated in Africa., People believed that bad spirits could be captured in a bottle.
Legend had it that empty glass bottles placed outside, but near, the home could capture roving (usually evil) spirits at
night, and the spirit would be destroyed the next day in the sunshine. One could then cork the bottles and throw them into
the river to wash away the evil spirits.
Of course as time goes on meanings fade.
Not all Folk still believe in such things but the gesture of displaying old customs reminds us of whence we came.
Alot of decor also showed signs of Christianity or Voudoun beliefs
This sim is very fascinating, do check out the library and other informative areas to learn more.
We wish you a great time in Bayou country,
This sim is great for RP or to relax in the pretty sights & sounds.
Adyeu, Wa pli tar, Swinn-twa! ❤
(a Good-Bye, See you later,Take care!)

Hello & Welcome Exploring Enthusiasts!
Today’s post brings us to the beautiful and elegant Museum Island by Carlolello Zapatero.
There are 21 replicas of the world’s richest architectural and historical landmarks of the Mediterranean.
These ancient wonders are a collection from across France, Iraq, Egypt, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Jordan, & Babylonia of long ago.
Maps and Directories can be found at the entrance and along the paths as you saunter over the bridges & landscapes warmed by carefully placed sunlight.
The Textures used on these ancient masterpieces are phenomenal.
The builder took great care in all details, especially with the shadows showing precise depth and realism.
Each monument will have a board in front, stating the origin and pertinant information of the RL artifact.
We recommend the 2 automated tours set out.
1 is a walking tour for you and a companion. It will walk you thru the entire Isle not missing one square inch.
It’s really fun to do and if you are like me and Revan, You will try to do it a few more times LOL
The second is a boat tour that can hold up to 4 avatars. (We had a friendly avatar join us lol~ Hello Morgan Darkrose!)
This tour will encircle and weave around and through the island to get another perspective of all its beauty.
We hope you enjoy as we have, This sim has been a favorite of mine for 2yrs and counting, Its a dbl thumbs up approval rating ❤
Take care until we read again ❤

Hello Explorers!
Welcome to another post highlighting a sim we think you’d enjoy.
Ravenscroft is the home & creativity of Sir Musgrave Mondegreen and his partner Saryn.
The peaceful grounds have a romantic feel and is the perfect spot to relax in.
They graciously welcome the public to explore the grounds but do ask that visitors do not enter the Manor house unless invited.
This romantic Isle has areas to socialize, a leisurely tour by train, and a hidden tunnel with a room to spend time in.
(walk over the manhole cover at landing area to enter the tunnel).
When you make your way through the tunnel, the other end will bring you to the boat tour.
Jump on the boat for a quick ride and arrive at the Mer-Fountain just up the hill.
Take your time, look around at the cozy areas, Its very photogenic here.
Enjoy the serenity and surroundings.
Here’s Your Taxi-=> Ravenscroft
Dark of Day, Darkest Nights
Melancholy souls in their Blithe…
Lonely is the companion here.
No way out is their fear.
Their Best Friend is called Desperation
While settled at Home in Isolation.
Some Sing to elevate
Some turn to fortune telling to speculate
giving hope, where none is found.
Some hold on to faded pasts
while wearing Bitter Masks
Empty Voids & Loss Deficient
Disappointment ongoing and consistent
The others here… Did they seek,…a way out,… of being tired and meek?
Stop & Take a look at the Dark & Mysterious Overto Omonto sim, designed by Romy Nayar.
You as the visitor can make a difference for these poor characters.
There is a puzzle to solve amongst the characters.
Each one of them holds a keyword that collectively Will open a door to freedom.
This sim although shadowy is visually appealing..It’s like walking into a Sepia photograph.
We recommend this art install as a addition to your exploring list.
We hope you Enjoy as we have 🙂

Solstice Tidings One & All!,
This post is about one of our mutually favorite times of the year, Fall.
September 22-23, marks the Autumn Solstice., It’s the closure of summer, The reap of harvests, Enjoyment of colors on
changing leaves, And preparation of oneself both physically and mentally for the colder months ahead.
This change is celebrated by many different cultures all over the world in several ways.
In the U.K. for example where Revan is from, People visit the World Famous site called Stonehedge.
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England.
It is generally accepted that Stonehenge was an ancient spiritual centre, and many people congregate to welcome the sun and
the new seasons.
Revan and I dressed in manner and explored SL in search for nostalgic & picturesque Fall sims.
The photo’s in this post came from 4 of the sims we enjoyed.LM’s are included below.
**SL’s Stonehedge, A cute little village on a sim called Fable, A gorgeous sim called the Kingdom of Alurel, and We had
a ball dancing to Medieval Flutes at The Renaissance Faire Isle.**
I also wrote a small poem about the Event. 🙂
A Season of Mellow has been ushered in.
Like an orchestra, Autumn’s song begins.
Nature’s Crescendo starts to build
Welcoming her song are those of guild.
Woodsman, Farmers, Gatherers of like.
Meeting on Meadow, travel by Pike.
Some may view this all as a Pagan’s delight,
But it is just respect of impending dark while giving thanks to sunlight.
Celebratory Feasts, Dancing in Cheer.
It is Autumnal Equinox and finally here.

Welcome Wanderers,
This post brings you a literary gem of Foul Whisperings & Strange Matters.
Macbeth is a dark and powerful tragedy written by William Shakespeare.
It is the story of a Scottish General who received a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of
Scotland.
Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife Lady Macbeth, He then murders The King and takes the throne for
himself.
Soon after, Macbeth’s heart couldn’t handle the sin., He is wracked with guilt and paranoia, and is forced to commit MORE murders to protect himself from suspicion.
He and his wife descend on a complex journey of arrogance, madness, and subsequent death.
Although this sim is an educational build for a RL School, We feel it doubles as an Art Install,
Thought provoking and worthy of a visit.
Thanks for visiting this blog and please feel free to leave a comment.
We’d love to hear from you. 🙂

Welcome Explorers!,
Today we are time traveling again.,
Transporting to a metropolis akin of Chicago’s yesteryear called Seraph City.
Seraph city is a themed sim comprising of shops, cafes, libraries, theaters and anything else that make a city complete.
Feeling a bit out of style?, Well Sonatta Morales’ clothing store is located here if you need a classic look to fit into character.
The sim’s design is Primarily Art Deco, with bits of retro-futurism called Deiselpunk.
Deiselpunk is an alternate version of a future 1950’s from the developed technology and society of the 1930’s, Where the Great Depression never arrived and World War II is still being fought as a prolonged Cold War.
Explore the network of drainage tunnels and Hideouts that run under the city.
But Watch out for the gator!
You may Rez your own vehicle and drive along cobblestone streets lined with Brownstones and luxurious High-rises.
Prohibition is in effect here!, There are speakeasies & posh nightclubs throughout the city.
Join the City Police or become a Bootlegger.
Which side will you Take?
We hope that you enjoy this well built creation as We have.
They have a Google calendar of events so that you don’t miss any fun.
Go ahead, click the link, pick an event to attend, and make some new friends!
Happy Exploring until We read again!

Fall In Travel Troopers,
Its time for Part 2 of 3 Mainland Mayhem!
Today we continue with our operational maneuvers thru the mainland.
Our strategic goal is to pin point and locate interesting sims for your delight and eradicate our enemy- boredom!
Marching forward & Boots down we enter Kissling, a sim fortified with older shops running since 2003.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Kissling/138/59/71
Feel Free To Browse, & Save a Linden or 2. There are very unique items here. (I’ve even found a Raggedy Ann Doll!)
Kissling is a quirky town with hyper cars, trucks and taxis that WHIZZ around corners and up and down each street very quickly.
While you wait by the cake shop you will notice a trolley or tour bus beckoning for you to board it.
Go ahead hop on! It moves very quickly, so hang on to your Cyrup (wig), As It travels across sim borders onto several towns.
When the trolley paused in The region of Boardman, We decided to take a look around & investigate.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Boardman/191/20/24
This is A small suburban community set in a nice, quiet region without stores and looming towers.
They have an Open Air Market, A Town Hall run by Jack Linden, A Quaint Church, which has small town USA’s charm and appeal.
Wander the Boardman sim. You can rez in designated areas, set out vehicles to drive, or boats to navigate the long meandering river into other sims.
********************************************************************
Our next tour of duty brings us to Frog Rd. The LM provided is the starting point.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Mavericks/71/42/32
Here you may rez your own vehicle, or board the idle city bus.
This Bus can hold up to as many friends that you bring with you, and will carry you all on a very long scenic route past unusual builds, stretched bridges, streams & mountains.
The Mainland holds some of SL’s oddest & oldest communities,
If any of the lands piques your curiosity then by all means saddle up and explore!
*********************************************************************
Last but not least of the fun, is Rizal.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Rizal/58/148/32
Rizal is a play centre with many attractions.
Set like a lake front amusement Park, You will be entertained by food stands that give out food.
An Interactive Playground, Hedge Maze, Bumper Boats and our favorite the giant Piano keys.
This was big time fun as we played out notes while dancing on the keys lol.
Jinn & Juice Inc.
