"Fall season in second life is the best. Pumpkin lattes, muffins, cakes and so many delicious treats. I love to visit Second life coffee shops for relaxing and studying. Some people might say it’s strange but I find that it’s very relaxing to have it in the background. During Covid, going to a coffee shop is risky business. So I can visit a second life coffee shop in the Safety of my own home." Read more on the blog.

"While I’d rather not meet a nearly 40 foot long snake in real life, it’s a treat to interact with one in Second Life. The Science Circle has set aside an area that has been built to resemble a hot, swampy environment in what is now Colombia, South America. This environment was built by Dr. Linda Kelly (Delia Lake in SL). Living in this environment is a 3D animation of a Titanoboa. This marvelous animated object was created by Dr. Gregory Bollella (GmanB in SL). You can visit this environment and observe the snake capturing a huge crocodile and just generally scooting about in the swamp." Read more on the blog.

In fact, I’ll expand on that statement here: Hera is a genuine world builder, conjuring cities, islands, kingdoms and more from the depths of her imagination and casting them into Second Life where they might be discovered and inhabited by those who find them."
