Blog Schedule

I post on Monday with an occasional random blog thrown in for good measure. I do my best to answer all comments via email and visit around on the days I post.

Z is for Zootenvaal Estate

For this, my fourth year doing the challenge, I've decided to share place names from the Virgin Islands. For such a small spot in the ocean, it seems like every rock, cove, hill and house has been christened. The names are a unique mix of Spanish, Danish, French, Dutch, English, and African to name a few.

Zootenval Estate, St. John A place to get away from it all. You can check out a video HERE.

Other Z Names:
 Zambee, St. Thomas A area up on Crown Mountain Road

My thanks to everyone who stopped by to take this little tour of the Virgin Islands. I hope you enjoyed your visit!

    Hi Bish .. I recognise Zootenval .. I'd have thought that would have been a South African (Dutch) name ..

    I think of wine too .. an estate with a vineyard .. wonderful views, delightful climate and just great food and drink .. time for us all to get together and enjoy Zee end!

    Congratulations .. Hilary

    Zootenval...Kinda reminds one of an old neighbor.... Hootenval. Beside the point.
    Great fun, another run another year
    but we ain't crying in our beer.

    I think I'm slap happy. I swear I don't drink or do drugs. LOL

    Congrats and see you later.

    I was wondering what marvel of the VI would be your Z post. Nice job. Very nicely done all month.

    I'd move there in a heart-beat, if my grandkids came with us.
