"Are there apple orchards there? I seem to recall from a medieval lit course in college that Avalon means apple orchard . . ."

Thanks. I didn't know that.

Avalon

"The word "Avalon" is from the British word lava, which means apple. Hence, Avalon is known as "The Island of Apples." An actual Avallon (note the alternate spelling) exists in Burgundy.
