Tried and True Sim Explores

I started this blog post on Thursday and was going to call it a Throwback Thursday post for Thanksgiving.  I thought I'd post some of my fave long lasting explore sims in appreciation for the joy they've consistently brought me in a world where many places come and go.  These have been around a long time and I'm sure I've blogged them all at some point or another in the past but are worthy of a new post for new residents or some that don't get around much.  Some have changed a little making further exploring a new experience. I might even add a few more later.  Enjoy

Black Kite: Great for exploring, posing, pictures, relaxing: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Black%20Kite/97/233/21

One of my all time fav sims had a facelift a short while back and it's redone just as glorious as ever.  There is adventure, exploring, romance, art, dancing, and relaxing hanging out. I've blogged it before with more detail, but it's worthy of some more. : )  Check it out.

This sim has been around with Ocho Tango Place for a while and I've taken pics here before too because it's such a quaint little dance place in the middle of a gorgeous field.  Their sim info. states: "The first club where dance Tango, dance, love, romance, latin,
A Milonga lost in a pampas.... what's else?"


I went back to visit last night and found below the cliffs some amazing art by Mistero Hifeng, some of which I've seen around SL before much much new.  Then to my delight when I started to climb down a well ladder I was teleported to a gallery in the sky loaded with tons of fun and creative work my Mistero Hifeng that was even for sale.  I took a ton of pics, some of which I post here.  It's so delightful to enter a well made scenic sim and get to enjoy good art, and interactive fun too.  Check this sim out again for 3 area of fun.
