St Louis Arch

Well look what happens when I procrastinate-get a bunch of blogs in a week :)

Like I said before one of the things I like best about places in SL are that they can be so realistic. So today's post is all about the St. Louis Arch.
The arch
OOO nice right. Looks just like it.


One of the neat things about this place is it's interactive. Under and around the arch there are kiosks where you can click and go the Arch website and purchase tickets.


Buy tickets online


Under the arch you can wait in line (which there hardly is every any, not like RL)

Ahh no lines-not like RL


You can also click the computer to get information about the arch.


Click the website

And even though you can't physically go up in a elevator, you can fly up to the top!! I love flying in SL.


View from top

There is also a boat right by where you teleport in which just reminds me of McDonald's now I haven't been to the arch in like 12 years so maybe there isn't even a riverboat McDonald's anymore.


The boat

Oh and make sure you get a free tee shirt while you are there :)

Cologne Cathedral

I can't remember how I ran across the Cologne Cathedral, I think someone gave me a landmark for it a few months back.

The best thing about the cathedral is how life like it is. If you have ever been to Europe you probably saw at least one cathedral. I love the inside of the cathedral, it is so life like.

Looks real

More inside

Love the arches

There is also pretty lanscaping outside. There is a path that surrounds the Cathedral and a gazebo.

And a fountain that I had to splash in :)

There is also a stage and a piano to play so of course I had to do that too :)

The cathedral is actually on two connected sims. It is so pretty and shows how life like things can be in SL. But the best thing about it-NO LAG!!!
