I was hooked.  Just seeing the builds that people made, was quite exciting.  Such imagination! Such talent!  I do not have any experience with building in 3D, so I have a lot to learn.  So far, I can rez a box, add a texture to it and throw in some free scripts I found like; visitor counter, note card/landmark giver, and teleporter.

I didn’t quite know what to do there except use the search engine.  The first search I made was for Linux.  There are a few groups, but no one was around right then.  I did get a free Linux Penguin t-shirt and promptly put it on. Exploring has to be my favorite thing to do.

The people that I have met have all been very nice and helpful. On my second day, after searching for classical music, I found the peaceful and inviting summer house of Yavanna Llanfair, which you can get your own copy for just $L50.  She has a lovely open-air dance floor with a piano that you can change to different types of music.   She appeared while I was enjoying the music and surroundings welcomed me to her charming home in the Second Life world.

It was obvious to her that I was a newbie and she gave me some good advice about buying on the mainland instead of an island where I would not be the real owner.  I know she doesn’t usually do this but she offered me a dance.  It was surreal to watch the avatars dancing while we chatted.  She had three dances out that I saw: ballroom, waltz and slow dance.  Her place is very nice and romantic and is a must visit.   She has a parcel radio for sale (I got one), among other things and you must take the tour to her skybox.
