Welcome to the Wacahoota Wonders blog. I'll be keeping you updated on the kids, house building progress, and life in general around Wacahoota/Micanopy.
As for the name - Wacahoota actually does mean "Cow Home." Originally, Spanish settlers came through this area and conversed with the Native Americans. "Vaca" in Spanish means cow and "hoota" in the native language means home. Eventually, this came to be known as Wacahoota. So, now we'll be watching the cows come home here in Wacahoota.
