Arcachon - A French Seaside


About a week ago, I discovered a beautiful French seaside called Arcachon. Arcachon is made to resemble the seaside resort in the south of France by the same name.



The teleport point lands you in the small, quaint village square complete with a center park graced with a fountain, Mayor's office, cafe, and church. From the town square, you can take a balloon ride to get an overview of the sites.



As well as beauty, this harbor town has many activities to enjoy. Take a relaxing boat ride in the harbor, take a tour on a scooter, hang glide through the skies, horseback ride over the different terrains, speed through the waters on a jet ski, and more! A few surprises are in store for you along the way such as the falling pine cones in the forest.


Whether you want to just enjoy the beach, explore this fascinating place, or find some activities to do, Arcachon has it all for you.

Additional pictures and information in French for Arcachon can be found on the Arcachon blog. CLICK HERE to view the blog.

Cap Estel @ Lonely Star - Glistening Winter Wonderland


Cap Estel is a nice quiet winter park. Whether you want to just sit and take in the beauty of the area, explore the nooks and crannies, or take a sleigh ride, the tranquil park has something for you. Included in the ambiance of the park is the whistling winds blowing through the trees and the animals you will see along your travels. The activities here were definitely made with couples in mind:

-Sleigh Ride - Hold on to your sweetie and take a sleigh ride around the sim. The sleigh is conveniently right at the tp point.

-Couple's Walk - Also right at the tp point is a couple's walk. Take a stroll through the frigid pathways. Hold tight to your sweetie for warmth. :-)

-Skating - If you have a pair of skates, make your figure eights on the frozen lake in the middle of the winter beauty.

-Guest Cabin - Take your sweetie to the cabin to enjoy some cuddling in front of the roaring fire.

-Bath House - Warm up and take a swim in the bath house.

-Sledding - Take the lift up the mountain. You will find a sled waiting for you to ride down the slopes. (Hint: Use your arrow keys to control the sled.)


Explore this gorgeous place created by my new friend, Maurice. You will discover more along your journey.

Wolf Mountain Ski Resort

Well, it is about time that I post some more exciting places to visit in Second Life. So, I am going to start posting cool places to visit to celebrate the holidays and winter season.


The first place I visited was Wolf Mountain Ski Resort. The ski resort sits on 6 sims with many winter activities. The landing point is the lodge. The lodge has a grand fireplace to sit by and chat and information on the resort including cabin rentals.

Activities include:

- Horseback Riding
- Skiing
- Canoeing
- Snowboarding
- Taking a Sleigh Ride



Because it is such a large place, it is fun just to walk around and explore what is there. Of course, this is SL, so it took a little bit to figure some things out. My boyfriend and I had a hoot with it.

Sky Galaxy @ Effie's Designs



If you haven't heard this amazing new artist yet, here is your chance!

Taking a variety of different songs and artists, 'Sasha' translates each tune and places them gently beside a soothing, sensual line of vocal and simplistic piano arrangements. Nineteen years ago, he was brought into this world by his mother, of whom resided in Smolensk ( Смоленск ), Russia and a father whom moved to the states from Berlin. From the first moments of which he could mutter a sound, singing had become nothing short of a passion.

His influences include the vocals and production talents of Imogen Heap, the emotion often found in the likes of Coldplay, Keane and Death Cab for Cutie, and in the other artists that continue to fill his favorites list; Above & Beyond, Frou Frou, Rufus Wainwright, Kate Havnevik, Yann Tiersen, and many more.
Skye is a musician, performer and vocalist professionally in his first life, but likes to keep his two lives well apart.

He joined Second Life in order to pursue the feeling of growth in his abilities, once more, and those numerous chain of events leading to one better opportunity to the next until you are stumbling for the top.
