Yukiko Yeshto‘s Weekly Tour

 
By Gemma Cleanslate

Saturday I was able to make it to Yukiko Yeshto ‘s weekly tour What great fun her tours are.

This week we took a tour through many of the newer regions with the log homes and through one camper region too. Though we were enjoying the landscapes with the lovely foliage we were on the hunt for new visa stamps for our Passport huds. As Members of the BBB group we have huds that collect stamps from all over the grid. Now anyone who lives in sl has that opportunity by finding the visa stamp dispensers around the world. Yuki told me, “ for them, they can join the Continental Passport Control Board group,”

We started in the bus and took a ride through the narrow roads of many regions to get to our first stop the Circle B Ranch where we stepped out to see it and grab our stamp.

Back in the bus we headed for the Randelsham National Forest. There it was along the railroad with a beautiful tree house Community Center where we found our second stamp. This is a delightful place to visit. And here we switched to a train car for the next part of the tour. I got such a kick out of one of the names, “Gigglesnort Rapids/Falls” Station. I think the Lindens and Moles had a wonderful time naming places as they built.

We arrived at the Switching Post, another surprise to me. I had never seen it before and must go back to check out the area. Our next stop was at the Hammies Place, The Bellisseria Animal Sanctuary. I have visited here before. The Hammies, as you know take over the fairgrounds often for their builds and parties

At our last stop at the Railway Station Yuki told us of a really special tour next weekend. It will be on a
Bar train!! That sounds like lots of fun and I hope I can make it! Will let you know! There are so many beautiful places to visit and you are all invited to come explore all the new locations . I have a box of notecards that Jon Ree puts out that will give you landmarks for loads of places of interest like the ones above that you can enjoy. Ask me anytime and I will pass it along.

Sunday I made sure I stopped over at the huge Wish Upon a Star American Cancer Society event. If you have not been to this Alice in Wonderland venue get there to see the magnificent build and take a look at the Relay for Life raffles in the garden. Make a donation in memory of Bixyl’s close family member who passed in a kiosk.

More Activities With The BBB

 
By Gemma Cleanslate

It has been a dizzying week with the Bellisserian Bureau of Bureaucracy. It is hard to keep up with all the activities going on! Tuesday There was a Meet and Greet in the Gallery where there was a showing art pieces in an exhibit called The Art of Travel. Amanda Tamatzui hosted with Dave (Lord Junibalya). There were many photos of travel places and ways to get there in the Gallery.

Michiel Bechir was the artist of the day. He spoke about his early life in art and his love of drawing from an early age and created some Comics in his teens and recently found some of them .They might appear somewhere in sl soon. He spoke of his love of travel and interacted with the audience answering questions.

I attended a party also at the Fairgrounds where Gιʂҽʅʅҽ Sƚɾҽҽƚҽɾ-LαƈσɱႦҽ (Giselle Lacombe) was the DJ and played great tunes for the attendees. Everyone is having such a good time . There is an ongoing attempt to get all the special visa stamps for this one week. As soon as people arrive at an event they start looking for the staff on the list I am doing well so far. It is not easy to capture a stamp from a dancer doing a stomping dance.

Wednesday The continent Sartori opened its embassy. Now all the continents have their own Embassy and Ambassador. It is similar in design but the Ambassador ,Bijoux Barr, art aficionado   has set her imprint on it . There is a marvelous Japanese garden outside the Embassy building. There was a meet and greet held there before the ceremony . Abnor Mole arrived and the ceremony was held on the porch of the Embassy. The Honorable Ambassador accepted the key and promised to bring the Continent residents and Bellisseria closer together .

After the doors opened we took a look at the office that reflected the Ambassador herself then teleported over to the Fairgrounds for another great party . This party had Bsukmet Stormcrow as the entertainment who gave us some beautiful haunting music of original composition. It was a delightful party with many in attendance. Everyone turned out in their best formal wear.

Thursday morning many of the staff were back on the Fairgrounds to give those still hunting for special stamps a chance to grab them. I was happy to get two more. I am still hunting for one more elusive staff member with only three more days to get it! There was to be balloon tour but it was postponed and replaced by another boat tour with Captain Cʅαɯ Sƚɾҽҽƚҽɾ-LαƈσɱႦҽ (Claw Streeter) taking out a large boat and Yuki following him with a smaller one taking passengers who still needed to do the tour. I skipped that since I had completed it already. On to the rest of the week!
