When I first landed in SL, someone gave me this link and I went straight there. It is small surf island where you can actually go surfing. I havnt been able to try it yet because the boards coast big bucks!, and you can buy swimming trunks, shades, suntan lotions, etc. There are even different wave breaks. There is a small break for slow easy rides and a larger wave for faster rides. Someone said that If you are lucky you might find a board laying around on the beach that you can use.

I have always wanted to visit Morocco because of what I've heard of the outdoor markets, mosques, food, beaches, and the culture from friends who have traveled there. This virtual space was actually constructed by students from Johnson & Wales University who had visited and in collaboration with the Moroccan Ministry of Tourism. When I teleported, I arrived in front of a fez booth. I took and wore one that allowed me to obtain information about my virtual surroundings as well as provide tips; it did warn me of monkeys. As I wandered thru the open markets, it was devoid of avatars but there was a gentle roar of a large crowd when walking in a specific area, and some of the stalls were empty with a couple of them with For Sale signs. Many of the stalls were offering garments, rugs, spices, kabobs, and baskets for sale. There were notecards, photo slideshows, and videos available that included tourism information and website links. I took a walk/fly thru stone-lined streets and walkways around the quaint residential buildings situated by ocean front views and I noticed that all the buildings have satellite dishes. This was a detailed little city with soccer fields, orange tree gardens, beach, outdoor café, and a mosque. I noticed two monkeys on a stand and I was expecting something to happen when I clicked them on and sat next to them; nothing happened.

I've never been able to find anyone here yet, but I did discover that nearby land included a nudist beach of some kind. One display had Ancestry.com's German homepage up it seemed. Also, there is an adorable gazebo here I'd love to have in my own yard in RL. Waiting to see if this place ends up being a useful resource in genealogy research.
