.....but the sim closing in a day is sad instead of amusing.

…..but the sim closing in a day is sad instead of amusing.

Pearl recently visited the French sim of Arachon Atlantique for the first, and sadly last, time as it’s closing very soon. There was lots to do and not enough time to explore it all in one visit.

Pearl did some “karaoke”.

[20:25] Match Fishing: You release the fish back into the water.
[20:25] Match Fishing Trophy Stand: Congratulations PearlGrey Resident!! You got the BIGGEST FISH SO FAR!!
[20:25] Match Fishing: PearlGrey makes a good cast and is ready for the next bite!
[20:27] Match Fishing: PearlGrey wonders if the fish have gone off this bait. Might be time to switch to a different one?
[20:27] Match Fishing: You recast with LUGWORM as bait.
[20:29] Match Fishing: Quick PearlGrey, Strike!! You’re gonna lose him! Hit ‘strike’ now!
[20:29] Match Fishing: You STRIKE!
[20:29] Match Fishing: Oh dear! It must’ve been a small fish. It’s spat out your big hook and heavy line.
[20:29] Match Fishing: PearlGrey makes a good cast and is ready for the next bite!
[20:29] Match Fishing: Thanks for fishing! Hope you had a good time! Your catch will be transfered to the trophy stand.
[20:29] Match Fishing Trophy Stand: Congratulations PearlGrey Resident!! You got the GOLD TROPHY!! Lets hope you can hold on to it until the match ends.

There was historical and regional information offered in local chat during the balloon ride. A lot had been put into this sim and I’m glad Pearl got to visit.

She recently went to the mainland to visit the Placebo Gallery, curated by resident Seraphim Placebo.

A lovely world where grass, wildflowers and trees can easily grow inside a gallery.

After checking the land impact of some of the pieces (only 1), Pearl purchased the one in the left of the above photo.

Pearl rarely travels to the mainland and got distracted a little by looking around the immediate neighborhood. She was standing in the middle of the street when amazingly, several residents strolled by.

Pearl had a few moments and wanted to visit a warm and sunny place to look at some art. I selected a place I’d found through Honour’s blog. She had amazing photographs of the sim. The sun on the water was beautiful, Pearl liked the art and had fun interacting with baby dragons.

A good day to visit a more tropical climate.

As with many places inworld, there are areas to hang out and talk or dance. When I was there, the Christmas tree was still up.

Available space in this gallery but Pearl is enjoying the friendly baby dragon.

There are several galleries and not all were filled yet. Pearl wants to visit again in a few months.
