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!)

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.

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!
