Finca Vigía was the home of Ernest Hemingway in San Francisco de Paula, Cuba, and now houses a museum.
Hemingway lived in the house from mid 1939 to 1960, renting it at first, and then buying it in December 1940 after he married his third wife Martha Gellhorn. Hemingway paid $12,500 for the property. The property was located for Hemingway by Gellhorn, who had come to Cuba to be with Hemingway but decided she did not want to live in the small room he rented at the Hotel Ambos Mundos. The Finca at the time consisted of 15 acres (61,000 m2) with a farmhouse.
It was at Finca Vigía that he wrote much of For Whom the Bell Tolls (a novel of the Spanish Civil War which Hemingway had covered as a journalist with Gellhorn in the late 1930s—the novel was started at the Ambos Mundos, and some was also written in Idaho). Hemingway would later buy the property out of some of the first royalties from the book, published in 1940.
When Hemingway and Gellhorn were divorced in 1945, Hemingway kept Finca Vigia and lived there during the winters with his last wife, Mary Welsh Hemingway.
At the Finca, Hemingway also wrote The Old Man and the Sea (1951) about a fisherman who worked the waters off Havana.

In Cuba a few years back, I bought an interesting hardback copy of Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea (in Spanish El Viejo y El Mar). Interesting because it’s A4 (19cm x 28cm) size rather than the more conventional 12cm x 20cm. This special edition was published in 2002 by Instituto Cubano del Libro and is a rather nice souvenir of the country which still reveres Hemingway. For the aficionado, the ISBN is 959-7108-42-9. Oh, and here's Hemingway's villa, just outside Havana.

I discovered this quote a while ago, it's been rattling around in my brain for a while, and tonight after getting home from an interesting evening out I decided to commit this to pixels.
I'm not entirely satisfied with it, in classic own-worst-critic fashion, but it'll do for now.
Pera Palas Hotel on Meşrutiyet Street in Tepebaşı opened in 1895 to host high-class passengers of the Orient Express train. The hotel was designed in neo-classical style by architect Alexandre Vallaury who was living in Pera, a distinguished neighbourhood with a view of the Golden Horn, at the time. The hotel received well-known and even royal guests including Queen Elizabeth II, Agatha Christie, Alfred Hitchcock, and Ernest Hemingway among many others. After 1917, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk stayed on numerous occasions in room 101, which in 1981 was converted into a museum, displaying Atatürk’s personal properties. Pera Palas was recently restorated and re-opened in 2010.

Tepebaşı’nda, Meşrutiyet Caddesi üzerinde yer alan Pera Palas Oteli, 1888’de Paris-İstanbul seferlerine başlayan Orient Express’in yolcularına hizmet vermek üzere 1895’te açıldı. Haliç manzarasına bütünüyle hâkim olan otel, mimar Alexandre Vallaury tarafından, 19. yüzyıl sonu Pera mimarisinin tipik bir örneği olarak neo-klasik üslupta tasarlandı. Pera Palas, Kraliçe II. Elizabeth gibi kraliyet ailesi mensupları ile Agatha Christie, Alfred Hitchcock, Ernest Hemingway gibi birçok ünlüyü ağırladı. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, 1917’den sonra otelin 101 numaralı odasında pek çok kez konakladı; oda, 1981’de Atatürk’ün şahsi eşyasının sergilendiği bir müzeye dönüştürüldü. 2000’li yıllarda restore edilen otel, 2010’da yeniden hizmete açıldı.

Do not ask for who the phone rings. It rings for thee. The title (and background text) are adapted from a line in John Donne’s 1624 work ‘Devotions of Emergent Occasions’ which was famously borrowed by Ernest Hemmingway for the title of his 1940 book about the Spanish Civil War ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls’. What it means exactly in this context is for me to know and you to find out. Melanie here also knows. But she’s not telling either.
‘Do not ask’ is an edition of 4 created on A2 Bockingford paper using the magic of spray paint, stencils, imagination, paint pen and smoke. Yes, actual smoke. Which can be difficult to control but is fun to use. They’re £150 each and are available on our Big Cartel page or by sliding into our DM’s…

The boy was back now with the sardines and the two baits wrapped in newspaper and they went down the trail to the skiff, feeling the pebbled sand under their feet, and lifted the skiff and slid her into the water.

Note how the prism cluster fits in the body: the larger prism is well-secured against the bottom by the retaining plate while the smaller prism "floats" and has no support other than the cement bonding it to the larger one.
The Turita's prism is similar to a Möller prism (See: www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/5207101527/in/set-72157623... and www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/5207694610/in/set-72157623...), but one big difference is that the roof sections of the large prisms are on opposite sides.
The view down Royal Street and the Hotel Monteleone. The Monteleone was first opened in 1886 by Antonio Monteleone with later expansions in 1908. 1928 and 1954. The hotel is still owned by the family. It has been a favorite haunt of writers from Hemingway to Faulkner and Eudora Welty, Tennessee Williams and Truman Capote. Suites in the hotel are named after them and the Carousel Bar is still going after all these years.
Jack Hemingway's achievements as a conservationist and expert fisherman were nearly overshadowed by his role as the son of a celebrated father and the father of famous children, died at Weill Cornell Medical Center in Manhattan December 1, 2000, at 77.
He suffered complications of heart surgery according to his wife.
Hemingway lived in Ketcham, Idaho and was the first son of Ernest Hemingway and the father of Margaux and Mariel Hemingway, both models and actresses.
''I spent the first 50 years of my life being the son of a famous father and am now spending the last 50 as the father of famous children,'' he wrote in his autobiography, ''Misadventures of a Fly Fisherman: My Life With and Without Papa,'' published by Taylor Publishing Company in 1986.
Mr. Hemingway picked up his father's fondness for angling, though he got next to no paternal piscatorial tutelage, and went on to fish most of North America's great trout streams, as well as working through the Nature Conservancy and other conservation groups to preserve wild areas.
As a commissioner on the Idaho Fish and Game Commission from 1971 to 1977, he succeeded in having the state adopt a ''catch and release'' fishing law. The result, said Bruce McNae, owner of Fish and Fly magazine, was that Idaho's trout stocks increased, while those of neighboring states declined.
Mr. McNae said Mr. Hemingway's vast knowledge of fishing and sheer energy on expeditions astounded him. ''Jack's Papa wrote masterfully about the great adventures of life,'' he said, using Ernest's nickname. ''Papa's Jack lived them.''
Orri Vigfusson, chairman of the North Atlantic Salmon Fund, lauded Mr. Hemingway's skill at ''presenting'' his hand-tied flies to salmon. He said that as a director of the fund, Mr. Hemingway was a leader in the campaign to pay commercial fishermen to forgo salmon fishing in Atlantic feeding grounds.
Mr. Hemingway embraced his father's legacy, serving as a judge in contests where writers try to emulate the Hemingway style; he helped create a line of furniture modeled after pieces in Hemingway's homes in Key West, Fla., Africa and elsewhere, and tried to preserve his own memories of his father.
One famous story was about the time he sat in his father's home in Havana, pouring out to his father his difficulty in finding a steady career after he left the military. He expressed despair.
Ernest Hemingway, mentioning his own father, who had killed himself, replied, ''I want to promise that you'll never do what Grandfather did, and I promise you I won't.''
The father then advised the son to pick a career and stick with it. The next day, they went buzzard hunting, and shared two pitchers of martinis. They ended the evening watching ''Casablanca.''
Jack Hemingway wrote that that day was the closest he had ever felt to his father. Six years later, Ernest Hemingway killed himself.
John Hadley Nicanor Hemingway was born on Oct. 10, 1923, in Toronto. His mother was Hadley Richardson, the first of Ernest's four wives, and his godmothers were Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas. The name Nicanor came from a famous matador, Nicanor Villalta. In childhood he mingled with Ezra Pound, James Joyce, Clark Gable, Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman.
As a toddler in his father's crude apartment above a sawmill at Rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs in Paris, he acquired the nickname Bumby because of his plump teddy-bear qualities. The Bumby name stuck with him through life, though in Jack's autobiography, his father always addressed him as ''Schatz,'' German for treasure.
In ''A Moveable Feast,'' Ernest's remembrances about his early days in Paris, he wrote about the boy's being baby-sat by their huge, protective cat, Mr. Puss-Puss. In an interview with The Toronto Star in 1986, Jack said: ''Why not? He was a big cat and wouldn't let anyone near my crib.''
He was 5 when his parents divorced; he grew up with his mother and in boarding schools, seeing his father only on summer vacations. ''He was my hero,'' Mr. Hemingway said in a 1999 interview with The New York Times. ''When he was with you, you were the total center of his attention. But when I left to go back to school, I was out of his mind.''
The two boxed, with the father knocking the son down and the son cutting his father's eye. When Jack was a teenager, Ernest arranged for his son's initiation by a Havana prostitute, not knowing that his son had already made her acquaintance, gratis, he said in The Times interview.
He attended the University of Montana and then Dartmouth College, but dropped out to enlist in the Army when World War II began. He was assigned to a military police detachment in North Africa, where he said his most extraordinary feat was maintaining the only venereal-disease-free unit in that area. After pulling some strings with generals who knew his father, he was assigned to the Office of Strategic Services, the fledgling military intelligence branch.
When he parachuted into Nazi-occupied France, he carried his rod, reel and fly box with him, and went fishing after his first mission was accomplished, nearly getting caught by a German patrol. On another mission, he was shot in the right arm and shoulder. He was captured and spent the rest of the war in prison camps from which he tried unsuccessfully to escape.
His courage impressed his father. ''His view of me changed -- the fact that I was wounded and had a nice set of visible scars,'' he said in an interview with The Idaho Statesman. ''I stopped being viewed as a nice little boy.''
Mr. Hemingway is survived by his wife, the former Angela Holvey, whom he married after his first wife, the former Byra Whittlesey, died in 1986. He is also survived by two daughters, Joan, nicknamed Muffet, of Twin Falls, Idaho, and Mariel, of Ketcham and West Lake, Calif.; two brothers, Patrick, of Bozeman, Mont., and Gregory, of Miami and Montana; and two grandchildren. His third daughter, Margaux, died in 1996 from an overdose of barbiturates.
Jack Hemingway had a number of jobs, including stockbroker and fishing-supplies salesman. Just before his death he finished another autobiography, ''A Life Worth Living,'' to be published by Lyons Press. He and his wife were working on another book, to include tales of their travels, personal reminiscences and recipes. He wrote the foreword before entering the hospital about three weeks ago. She said she would finish the still-untitled book.
But his greatest love was fishing, thanks and no thanks to his famous father. ''I know he wanted me to love fishing and hunting, and I believe that he deliberately set about to make me want to do it on my own initiative,'' he wrote. ''Tennis parents and stage mothers should take note. The kid has got to want to do it, not just to please the parent, but for himself.''

56. Many fishermen were around the skiff looking at what was lashed beside it, and one was in the water, his trousers rolled up, measuring the skeleton with a length of line. ‘He was eighteen feet from nose to tail,’ the fisherman who was measuring him called.
It was an honor for me to repair the separated prism in Hemingway's binocular. Here are the two components prior to being re-bonded. Note the paper thin copper plate between the two prisms. Also note the old Canada Balsam cement projecting on either side of the smaller (ocular end) prism. Although I cleaned the prism faces of all traces of Balsam prior to rebonding, these projections were left intact and provided ideal witness marks for a perfect fitting during rebonding.
The Turita's prism is similar to a Möller prism (See: www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/5207101527/in/set-72157623... and www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/5207694610/in/set-72157623...), but one big difference is that the roof sections of the large prisms are on opposite sides.

Ernest Hemingway memorabilia in the main room of Sloppy Joe's Bar in Key West, Florida. There is a large photo of Hemingway, and a stuffed swordfish which Hemingway may have caught. He was known as a deep sea fisherman.
I presume that the other items are photos and other Hemingway items, though I did not get close enough to see them.
This was Hemingway's home from 1931 to 1939.It is a private, for-profit landmark and tourist attraction now populated by six and seven-toed cats that guides claim are descendants of Hemingway's cats. The author's second son, Patrick, who lived in the house, stated in a 1994 interview in the Miami Herald's "Tropic" that his father had peacocks in Key West, but no cats; he owned cats in Cuba. In a 1972 L.A. Times interview, Hemingway's widow Mary denounced the sale of "Hemingway cats" by the owners of the house as "An outright lie. Rank exploitation of Ernest's name." The house no longer sells cats, but does continue a selective breeding program for them.
It was in this house that he did some of his best work, including the final draft to "A Farewell to Arms," and the short story classics "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber."
The house stands at an elevation of 16 feet above sea level, but is still the second-highest site on the island. It was originally built by Asa Tift, a marine architect and salvage wrecker, in 1851 in colonial southern mansion style, out of limestone quarried from the site. As testament to its construction and location, it survived many hurricanes, and the deep basement remained, and remains, dry.
The Hemingways had lived in Key West since 1930, but had rented housing. Pauline Hemingway (the writer's second wife) found the Tift house in 1931, for sale at a tax auction. Pauline's uncle Gus bought it for her and Ernest, for $8,000 cash, and presented it to them as a wedding gift.

He was an Old Man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish the boy’s parents had told him that the Old Man was not definitely ‘salad’ which is the worst form of unlucky. And the boy had gone at their orders.
Grand Hotel Des Iles Borromees, Stresa
In September 1918, the American writer Ernest Hemingway arrived in Stresa for the first time at the age of 19, recovering from a war wound. Reminiscing about the beauty of the place, Hemingway, set part of his novel “Farewell to arms” in the hotel.
