With Dawson Sailing into the Wind
I finally caught up with my sister Dawson for the first time since returning from Greece. She had also taken a respite from Second Life. But it was a joyful reunion. I was so glad to see her again. We went sailing for a bit in a smart little boat on the Blake Sea. Around Nantucket, we ran into a strange rezzing problem with our boat. So we decided to do some sim exploring and teleported to the sim called Czechoslovakia.

.Dawson has visited the Czech Republic several times in real life, and Prague is one of my favorite cities. So we both were very interested in visiting this sim. The Czechoslovakia sim serves a fairly large Czech and Slovak community in Second Life. The sim is not English language friendly, but that doesn' t diminish the fun of exploring what is has to offer (Dawsi was hilarious speaking faux Czech, making it up as she went along). The sim has much to offer. Some offerings are puzzlingly incongruent, like placing the Eiffel Tower in Slovakia, and some unexpected, like the nude beach. But the highlight of the sim is the Bohemia Stare Mesto (Old Town) and its recreation of the Townsquare of Telc, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its Baroque houses of high gables and arcades. Also placed in the townsquare is the Old Town Hall of Prague with its famous Astrological Clock, parts of which date back to 1410 AD. The regulars to this sim from the Czech Republic and Slovakia are very friendly and like to party. If you have some time to spare, consider taking a short trip to Czechoslovakia. I highly recommend it.
