La Maison et Musée d’Ernest Hemingway à Key West :
Ernest Hemingway a débarqué à Key West (au printemps 1928) avec sa deuxième femme Pauline, sur les conseils de John Dos Passos, autre membre de ce que l'on a appelé la "Génération perdue" (artistes et écrivains américains expatriés à Paris dans les années 1920). En déambulant dans les rues, on peut presque imaginer le style de vie de ce monstre sacré dans les années 1930, du temps d’un autre Key West, celui des parties de pêche, de la prohibition, des cargaisons pirates pour Cuba et de la tempête du siècle de 1935.
Après deux saisons passées à Key West, l’oncle de Pauline acheta, pour le jeune couple, la maison de Whitehead Street, pour 8000 dollars en 1931. La maison en pierre, de style franco-espagnol en vogue à la Nouvelle-Orléans, a été construite en 1851 par Asa Tift (architecte dans la marine et chasseur de trésors dans les épaves). Le domaine étant le deuxième point de sol le plus élevé de l'île de Key West, le calcaire à partir duquel la maison est construite a été excavé directement du sol sous la structure et taillé à la main, grâce à une main-d’œuvre constituée d’esclaves. L'électricité a été ajoutée vers 1899 et la plomberie vers 1944, lorsque Key West a reçu l'eau courante de Florida City. Avant cela, il fallait utiliser l'eau de pluie collectée dans deux réservoirs, l'un entre la maison principale et la remise et l'autre sur le toit de la maison principale.
La villa est à étage et entourée de balcons, avec des portes-fenêtres et de grands volets. La maison de Key West est composée de peu de pièces (mais relativement grandes). A l'abandon depuis 1889 le couple entrepris de grandes rénovations. Les Hemingway l'ont décorée de meubles venus d'Europe (notamment des antiquités espagnoles du XVIIIe siècle), de trophées rapportés de leurs safaris en Afrique ou de leurs parties de chasse dans l'Ouest américain. La collection de lustres a remplacé tous les anciens ventilateurs de plafond. Comme Ernest était également amateur d'art, vous pouvez voir une vue de l'église Saint-Paul peinte par l'artiste local Eugene Otto (sur le mur du fond du salon) et une grande lithographie montre Gregorio Fuentes (cuisinier et compagnon sur le bateau de pêche de Papa Pilar pendant plus de 20 ans). Dans la pièce en face du salon, il y a une chaise Cardinal en cuir rouge (près de la porte) qui aurait été utilisé comme accessoire dans la production de Broadway de La cinquième colonne. Dans cette atmosphère si particulière, un air de « Belle époque » plane dans l’air. Pour les fans de l’écrivain, on retrouve son fauteuil fétiche, d’anciennes photos personnelles de ses voyages autour du globe, et bien sûr sa machine à écrire Royal.
Ernest Hemingway landed in Key West (in the spring of 1928) with his second wife Pauline, on the advice of John Dos Passos, another member of the so-called "Lost Generation" (American artists and writers expatriated in Paris in the 1920s). Walking through the streets, you can almost imagine the lifestyle of this sacred monster in the 1930s, in the days of another Key West, that of fishing trips, prohibition, pirate cargo for Cuba and the storm of the century of 1935.
After two seasons in Key West, Pauline's uncle bought the Whitehead Street house for the young couple for $ 8,000 in 1931. The French-Spanish stone house in vogue in New Orleans, was built in 1851 by Asa Tift (architect in the navy and treasure hunter in wrecks). The estate being the second highest point of soil on the island of Key West, the limestone from which the house is built was excavated directly from the ground under the structure and cut by hand, using a hand work made up of slaves. Electricity was added around 1899 and plumbing around 1944, when Key West received running water from Florida City. Before that, rainwater collected in two tanks had to be used, one between the main house and the shed and the other on the roof of the main house.
The villa is upstairs and surrounded by balconies, with patio doors and large shutters. The house in Key West is made up of few rooms (but relatively large). Abandoned since 1889, the couple undertook major renovations. The Hemingways decorated it with furniture from Europe (notably Spanish antiquities from the 18th century), trophies brought back from their safaris in Africa or from their hunting trips in the American West. The chandelier collection has replaced all the old ceiling fans. As Ernest was also an art lover, you can see a view of the Saint Paul Church painted by local artist Eugene Otto (on the back wall of the living room) and a large lithograph shows Gregorio Fuentes (cook and companion on Papa Pilar's fishing boat for more than 20 years). In the room opposite the living room, there is a Cardinal chair in red leather (near the door) which would have been used as an accessory in the Broadway production of The Fifth Column. In this very special atmosphere, an air of "Belle Epoque" hangs in the air. For fans of the writer, there is his favorite chair, old personal photos from his travels around the globe, and of course his Royal typewriter.
Scott Fitzgerald invited us to have lunch with his wife Zeld and his little daughter at the furnished flat they had rented at 14 rue du Tilsett. I cannot remember much about the flat except that it was gloomy and airless and that there was nothing in it that seemed to belong to them except Sott's first books bound in light blue leather with the titles in gold. Scott also showed us a large ledger with all of the stories he had published listed in it year after year, with the prices he had received for them and also the amounts for any motion picture sales, and the sales and royalties of his books. They were all noted as carefully as the log of a ship and Scott showed them to us with impersonal pride as though he were the curator of a museum. Scott was nervous and hospitable and he showed us his accounts of his earnings as though they had been the view. There was no view.
~A Moveable Feast, by Ernest Hemingway
Finca Vigia is located in the small, working-class town of San Francisco de Paula. The Cuban people have always respected famous writer's choice to live in a modest town, amongst the people he fished with.
Built in 1886 by a Spanish Architect Miguel Pascual y Baguer, Finca Vigia was purchased by Hemingway in 1940 for a cost of $12,500.
There, Hemingway wrote two of his most celebrated novels: For Whom the Bell Tolls and The Old Man and the Sea. A Movable Feast was written there as well.
we's heading up river
like the proverbial bat out of hell,
with a maniacal
Sam the Guide at the helm.
just past the bridge, on full throttle,
we cut through a back channel
behind the gravel bar,
our jet sled drafting through
in less than 6 inches of water.
the PETA people try to follow.
i look back just in time to see their boat
go ricocheting off the rocks.
the force of the impact
shears the prop of their motor clear off
& peels the aluminum hull back like a sardine can.
"Christ!" yells Sam,
over the roar of the motor.
"Well, shooting those sea lions
was a little over the top," i yell back.
"The rest of 'em will get the message," Sam snarls.
i nod in approval,
not sure if he is referring to the sea lions
or the PETA people.

Ernest Hemingway's favorite bar and daily local hangout way
back in the day. We have enjoyed many great nights here
with friends, and great music, and great food and drink during
our annual pilgrimage here over the last 45+ years.
Sloppy Joe's Bar is a historic American bar in Key West, Florida.
The bar went through two name changes before settling on Sloppy Joe's with the encouragement of Hemingway. The name was taken from the original Sloppy Joe's bar in Old Havana, that sold both liquor and iced seafood. In the high Cuban heat, the ice melted
and patrons taunted the owner José (Joe) García Río that he ran
a "sloppy" place. It's the favorite fun bar of both locals and tourists.
(It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 11/1/06)

"... Decía siempre la mar. Así es como le dicen en español cuando la quieren. A veces, los que la quieren, hablan mal de ella, pero lo hacen siempre como si fuera una mujer. Algunos de los pescadores más jóvenes, los que usaban boyas y flotadores para sus sedales y tenían botes de motor comprados cuando los hígados de tiburón se cotizaban alto, empleaban el artículo masculino, le llamaban el mar. Hablaban del mar como de un contendiente o un lugar,o de un enemigo..."

The swimming pool at the Rod and Gun Club in Everglades City. I would have loved to dive in for a bracing swim, but I'm not a member of the Polar Bear Club, so I swam with my camera instead.
From their website:
The Castle Square (Plaza del Castillo) is Pamplona’s main square and is frequented by both locals and tourists alike. It is a place full of bars and restaurants with terraces. The Plaza del Castillo is just the perfect place to start or end a walk through the Old Town.
Throughout the centuries, the Castle Square has been witness of all types of events such as markets, concerts, celebrations, etc. For example, from the end of the 14th century until 1844, it was used as the bullring of the city.
When Ernest Hemingway was in Pamplona, he of course spent a lot time in the Plaza del Castillo. Some of his favorites at the square were the bar Txoko, the Hotel La Perla and the Cafe Iruna. A statue of Hemingway can be found at the Cafe Iruna.
View of the Key West Lighthouse from the second floor balcony.
Sometimes a lighthouse is just a lighthouse.
The Key West Light was completed in 1848. It was 50 feet (15 m) tall with 13 lamps in 21-inch (530 mm) reflectors, and stood on ground about 15 feet (4.6 m) above sea level. In 1858 the light received a third order Fresnel lens. In 1873 the lantern was replaced (it had been damaged by a hurricane in 1866), adding three feet to the height of the tower. The growth of trees and taller buildings in Key West began to obscure the light, and in 1894 the tower was raised twenty feet, placing the light about 100 feet (30 m) above sea level.
In September 1921, Ernest Hemingway and his new wife moved to a cramped fourth floor apartment (3rd floor by Chicago building standard) at 1239 North Dearborn in a then run-down section of Chicago's near north side. The building still stands with a plaque on the front of it calling it "The Hemingway Apartment." His wife Hadley found it dark and depressing, so in December 1921, the Hemingways left Chicago and Oak Park, never to live there again, and moved abroad to Paris.
since i seem to have a lot more free time right now,i am getting back to reading some of favorites...just some light reading...books,coffee,my bed and i pod-heaven!

GOOD MORNING to all my flickr friends!
Woke up feeling feisty, needing some humor, so I played with an old postcard, a "failed" photographic background, a light switch plate from our kitchen and the age-old saying we typists all know by heart!
When looking for some quotes, I was greatly amused how these all seemed to do with torture or fighting!
Ah, having wonderful reflections on the good old days! Right now I'm experiencing difficulty sitting at my computer for long bouts of time ~ possibly I need to go back to my typewriter!

Have a GREAT DAY Everyone!
On the bar at Floridita at Obispo and Monserrate, Havana.
Ernest Hemingway's "favourite" bar in the city and now the number one bus tour stop off. The big red refridgerators behind the bar say it is the 'cuna' or cradle of the daiquiri - hinting that's where it was invented.
Undoubtedly the most touristy spot in all of Cuba. Your Daiquiri here is six Convertible Cuban Pesos - next door it is three. And the bar tender in white shirt in the background was the rudest person we met in ten days on the island. Smart bar though with a great history.
Daiquiri here is Havana Club rum, lime juice sugar and maraschino liqueur
Manufacturer/Model: Zeiss Jena Turita, 8X24
Field of View: 6.3 deg = 110 yd/1,000 yd; APFOV 50.4 deg
Weight: 433 gr
Exit Pupil: 3 mm
Serial #/Year of Manufacture: 1350XXX or 1356XXX (some markings are indistinct) = Either way the year of manufacture is 1927.
Notes: In August 2011 there was a thread on Birdforum seeking occurrences of binoculars in literature and I contributed quotes from some of Hemingway's works. Later, a gentleman living near Winnipeg who had read these posts contacted me and stated he had Hemingway's Zeiss Turita 8X24 explaining it was given to him by the son of the late George (Lefty) Whitman, a RAF pilot, who during WW II took the famous author with him in the cockpit of his Hawker Tempest fighter plane on a combat mission across the English Channel. Subsequently, Hemingway gave the binocular to Whitman in exchange for his sweater. The provenance of this binocular is as follows: 1) The book “Listen to Us: Aircrew Memories”, 1997, (see manitobamilitaryaviationmuseum.com/PDF/LeftyWitman.pdf, page 10/11 first paragraph) documents Hemingway giving the binocular to George Whitman; 2) George Whitman’s son is able to verify he gave this binocular to the current owner; 3) The wear markings on this binocular match those on a binocular (which looks like a Zeiss Turita) Hemingway is holding in a 1944 photograph taken aboard the attack transport Dorothea L. Dix prior to the D-Day landing (See www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/6881409514/in/photostream/). Also, although not provenance but noteworthy, are references in Hemingway’s writing suggesting that even before as well as during WWII he may have been familiar with and used the ultra-compact Zeiss Turita. - 1) 'Green Hills of Africa', 1935, page 207: "We started out with the brother ahead, wearing a toga and carrying a spear, then me with the Springfield slung and my small Zeiss glasses in my pocket, then M'Cola with Pop's glasses..."; 2) 'For Whom the Bell Tolls ', 1940, page 433: "Robert Jordan, looking through the Zeiss 8-power glasses, watched his face as he leaned against the wall of the sentry box drawing on the cigarette. Then he took the glasses down, folded them together and put them in his pocket. I won't look at him again, he told himself."; 3) ‘Voyage to Victory’, Collier’s, 22 July 1944: “I got my old miniature Zeiss glasses out of an inside pocket, where they were wrapped in a woollen sock with some tissue to clean them, and focused them on the flag. I made the flag out just before a wave drenched the glasses.” Note that this quote describes Hemingway’s experience on board a landing craft approaching Fox Green beach on June 6, 1944, and I believe the binocular seen above is the same one he used that day. For additional pictures see: 1) www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/6881418684/in/photostream, 2) www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/6881415018/in/photostream/, 3) www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/7027522917/in/photostream/, and 4) www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/7027505359/in/photostream/.
I had the honor of repairing a separated prism on this binocular and took some pictures of its prism system which can be seen here: 1) www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/6901732742/in/photostream; 2) www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/7047825189/in/photostream/; and 3) www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/7047820865/in/photostream/.
Any further information readers could provide about Hemingway's use of this type binocular in particular photographs of him with one or quotes from his works would be most welcome.
Note: If you have a vintage binocular you either wish to sell or would just like some information about, I can be contacted at flagorio12@gmail.com .
Ernest Hemingway with Soviet and German intellectuals Ilya Ehrenburg and Gustav Regler, working on the propaganda film The Spanish Earth, Spain, 1937. Ernest Hemingway role on the Spanish Civil War started in 1937, when he reached a deal with the North American Newspaper Alliance to cover the war while filming The Spanish Earth, a propaganda film in favour of the Republicans. In Madrid, Hemingway wrote his only play, The Fifth Column, while the capital was being bombarded by Fascist planes. After a short rest, he returned to the front twice, even covering the Battle of the Ebre, where he was one of the last journalists to cross the river during the massive Republican retreat.
