Today I did an in-depth exploration of Last Stop, a Region sponsored by Teegle.
Most of the build was submerged, with a deserted subway tunnel snaking along between scattered shops. It was all absolutely beautiful. The fish swimming back and forth among the plants added a nice ambiance but weren't gaudy, florescent, or odd colors. I can remember when SL fish were just flat shapes, these fish looked real and three-dimensional. Second Life is getting better!

I visited all the stores very quickly, as I'm minding my inventory , but I stopped at DFS because they had something I hadn't seen before: llamacorns. I looked around to see if there was any way I could make a Relay for Life contribution from their shop, but couldn't find one. I think every shop at Fantasy Faire should have a way you could make a Relay for Life contribution without buying anything, just as a 'thank you' for them having a shop that was interesting, pretty or unique.

I was confused by a store with no name - just a logo. I was impressed that inside there were posters indicating that they could help you in six different languages, but I still had absolutely no idea what it was they were. I finally clicked for the free gift and got an info card explaining that this shop was advertising the Akipelago Group:

I guess everyone else in Second Life but me already knew what Akipelago was.
On the surface the Region was mostly water with some rocky outcroppings , and trolley lines heading out over the water to the horizon reminded me of scenes in Spirited Away.
