No wonder it was a mystery photo
The photo in last Sunday’s NYT identified as a St. John villa is “Cote’ Sud,” according to the nice folks at the Travel Section desk. (When you’re On-StJohn, your emails get answered.) And now we know why we didn’t recognize the villa. Cote’ Sud is actually on Frenchman’s Bay on St. Thomas. The NYT even referenced it in a recent NYT article about Virgin Islands real estate. I’ve informed the Gray Lady of this horrible, horrible error. Look for it to show up in the Corrections box (not.)
It looks like a great house though. Check it out here.
Also…there was not one Caribbean mention anyplace in either the WPO or NYT travel sections this weekend. And you know what that means. We’re on the downhill side of winter! You’ll be walking the dog in your flip-flops again before you know it.

“You’ll be walking the dog in your flip-flops again before you know it. ”
I wouldn’t go that far just yet.

That whole article cheesed me off. There was one the same weekend in Raleigh’s News Observer (just a pickup from some news service feed) about the USVI. In it, the author (and I severely stretch the word) referred to going to “Downtown St John” for shopping. First off…yea. Secondly, can we at least get the town’s name in the article?
