We wish you a great time as we had, and hope this is a nice addition to your fun list.
Welcome forward everyone!,
Revan and I are always exploring dozens of sims per day.
We’ve come across so many beautiful & fascinating destinations in Second Life.
Some places are very small, and not much to them to do a full post on,
but still made a big impression on us that we saved landmarks to revisit at another time.
You can imagine the substantial collection we have, we like just about everything lol
With so many LMs in possession, We thought to condense some choice favorites in categories.
Our picks in the “3 Realms” series will be of the Arts in this post.
Art forms in SL are interestingly diverse, With unique perspectives and creativity.
Please take time to support the Art community, refer and patron them frequently.
Look on as we cover the historic, the fun and the interactive.
************************************************
The Terracotta Soldiers (TP)
This SL replica of ancient funerary art is AMAZING.
Here are the RL facts for this: In 1974 these figures were discovered by local farmers in the Lintong District, Xi’an, Shaanxi province.
The figures include warriors, chariots and horses, & varied in height according to their roles, with the tallest being the generals.
These terracotta statues represented the armies of the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang.
When he passed, They were buried with him to protect the emperor in his afterlife.
************************************************
The Port (TP)
Loved Loved Loved this place!
This sim is a mashup of eclectic art galleries & media.
The Port is a sandbox of sorts for those into machinima, Offering LOTs of resources, & helpful tips.
It also has exploratory tunnels, caves & interactive art to play with.
Enter the building called the “Pencil factory” to see innovative & successful past projects that were launched in SL.
We haunted this place for a couple of hours LOL, & had a BALL here!
***********************************************
Echoes in the Garden (TP)
This is one of several interactive installs in SL, by Artist Rose Borchovski.
Echoes is a continuation of the story on a character named Beth and her Grandchild Lot.
This sad and haunting tale comes about because of war.
Bound by rules restricting them of what they can and cannot do,
Beth and Lot were forced to flee their home because a war had started.
They were separated in all the calamity, and Beth never found her grandchild again.
The Artist injects so much emotion into her creations.
You can feel the fear, the loss and pain of an upcoming war and separation.
Other installations by This artist can be found here:

As always we wish you a great time out there in SL,
Take Care until we read again ❤

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 ❤

Well Hello There,
After a few weeks of intense exploring, We finally slowed down enough to do a post today. YAY!
There have been a flurry of events that have started., Some well advertised, some lesser known, but all definite gems.
We just had to tell you about this particular ‘must see’.
The Night Market, at The Water Lantern Festival.
It’s a magical event full of Asian-inspired goodies made by the many talented designers in secondlife.
At this time, They also have a fund raiser called “Love to the Philippines.”
The community is showing support for families affected by the Huge & Deadly Typhoon that ripped through the country.
You may donate to this cause by buying from a stall at the gate/landing area.
If you like to take photos, the venue is beautifully decorated, It made us go oooo-ahhh!
We dressed for the occasion and snapped some mementos.
The creative mind(s) that designed this venue made it interactive and fun for all.
Even thou you can wade through knee high waters, There are boats to row and float to each stall while you shopped.
Others had a great time at the popular noodle stand, If you could stand the wait for a free chair, you will enjoy your bowl too lol
Check it out asap, It will only be around until Nov. 20th!

Greetings Explorers,
Today’s post is one of high adventure. Are you ready?!
We travel to the Great Pyramid of Giza, the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World in search of The Pharaohs Tomb!
Only those with courage and resolve will make it through the maze of tunnels and chambers laden with Treasures and Traps.
We began our adventure in the temple below the pyramid where a stone slab slid away on our approach revealing a hidden entrance!
A vast room full of venomous snakes, led to a dark tunnel where long dead mummies woke from their slumber…
uh, uh…..RUN!!
Spiders, Crocodiles, Fire Pits, Rope Slides and Moving Bridges…
Who said this would be easy?
If you make it to the Pharaoh’s Tomb Room in one piece make sure You take the time to marvel at the opulent décor and grand statues.
Having completed your quest, why not spend some time relaxing in the Palace or taking in the sights by boat, balloon or flying carpet.
We Hope you enjoy your own exploratory quest here…
‘Til the next time 😉

Greetings Explorers,
In today’s post we take you to the colorful and surreal Banana island nicknamed Pangloss.
This Pink world is inspired by infra-red military photography and the dreams of Bowie Lana Zeplin the Sim creator.
Climb ladders into the sky and take in the view on the backs of giant flying turtles.
Winding tunnels lead to hidden caves where gold plants and flowers make a stark contrast to the pink world outside.
Flying fish, brightly colored birds and butterflies will stir your imagination.
Pangloss Opens officially this weekend and we hope you will enjoy relaxing in the pergola or at the piano as much as we did.
Thanks for following our blog.
Take care till the next time 🙂

Hello Travelers,
We bring you a post on the mysterious and beautiful sim “The Sands of Time.”
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Sands%20of%20Time/185/191/22
This Beautifully landscaped sim is Home to Majilis Al Jinn.
The name of the sim can be translated as: The Congress (or the seat, the meeting place) of Spirits.
The Jinn are mythical beings of great power that exist somewhere between heaven and earth.
In western culture they are often thought of as Djinn/Jinni/ Genie, and are often the granters of wishes when found and released. In middle eastern culture, the Jinn are mentioned in the Quran as beings created by Allah, where men were created from clay, the Jinn were created from fire, and just like men, have free will, and the ability to choose to be good or not. The subject of Jinn in Muslim culture is today at least, often taboo, as they are often blamed for causing mischief on earth.
Majailis Al Jinn is an island reflecting the enchantment and the wonder from tales like 1001 nights, or even modern stories such as ‘Prince of Persia’. Here Western and Far East cultural influences can be found blended in.
Exploring this island, You will see The recess in the island’s center is sheltering a garden of wonders.
There are caves of Mystery under the palace, hidden alcoves to sit and cuddle, and even a sunken ancient temple.
When you visit this fabulous sim, Time is of no importance here, Stop and take time to enjoy this haven set on a vast ocean where Mystery & beauty is allowed to flourish.
Thank You for visiting this blog, Your support is appreciated. Stay tuned for another sweet find and Take Care.
