For our Spring break this year we travelled south, right to the tip of the Keys to Key West.
These beginning scenes are from the beginning of the trip. Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery ... and never have I seen so many fishing boats anywhere. The Keys are sort of like the Caribbean, have that island mentality, yet still very much a part of America. Great restaurants and if you love seafood as we do, you'll be in heaven!
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.

Depicting Hemingway
He was rowing steadily and it was no effort for him since he kept well within his speed and the surface of the ocean was flat except for the occasional swirls of the current. He was letting the current do a third of the work and as it started to be light he saw he was already further out than he had hoped to be at this hour.

La tomba di Mary Constance Lloyd moglie di Oscar Wilde.
Constance Mary Lloyd, nacque a Dublino il 2 gennaio 1859 e morì a Genova il 7 aprile 1898. Fu una scrittrice e giornalista amante della letteratura italiana ed è famosa per essere diventata la moglie del famoso dandy. Dopo le note vicende legate al suo matrimonio decise di venire a vivere in Liguria con i figli dove morì.
Famed author and journalist Ernest Hemingway's villa at Finca La Vigía (Lookout Farm) in San Francisco de Paula, Cuba. 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. It was at Finca Vigía that Hemingway 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 1930's). He would later buy the property out of some of the first royalties from the book, published in 1940.
Everything in the house is in the same meticulous order it was in when Hemingway lived here. The house was built in 1887 and designed by Catalan architect Miguel Pascual y Baguer.
La tomba di Caterina Campodonico, più universalmente conosciuta come quella della "Signora delle noccioline" (o anche della "Paisana" o della "Popolana") è commissionata direttamente da lei stessa allo stata dallo scultore Lorenzo Orengo (Genova 1838 -1909) che la scolpì nel 1881. E' famosa anche l'epigrafe scritta dal poeta Giambattista Vigo in dialetto genovese:
A sôn de vende ræste e canestrelli
All'Æguasanta, a-o Garbq, a san çeprian
Con vento e sô, con ægua zù a tinelli,
A-a mâe vecciaia pe asseguaghe ûn pan;
Fra i pochi södi, m'ammuggiava quelli
Pe tramandame a-o tempo ciù lontan
Mentre son viva, e son vea portoliann-a:
Cattainin Campodonico (a Paisann-a)
MDCCCLXXXI
Da questa mâe memoia, se ve piaxe,
Voiatri que passàe preghaême paxe.
A forza di vendere collane di noccioline e dolci
all'Acquasanta, al Garbo e a San Cipriano,
con il vento e con il sole, con l'acqua che vien giù a catinelle,
per assicurare il pane alla mia vecchiaia;
fra i pochi soldi, mi ammucchiavo quelli
per tramandarmi al tempo più lontano
mentre son viva, da autentica abitante di Portoria 1:
Caterina Campodonico (la Paesana)
1881
Da questa mia memoria, se vi piace,
voialtri che passate, auguratemi pace.

The tomb of Catherine Campodonico, more generally known as the "Lady of the nuts necklaces" (or even the "Paisan") was commissioned directly by herself to the sculptor Lorenzo Orengo (Genoa 1838 -1909 ) which made the statue in 1881. It is also famous the inscription written by the poet Giambattista Vigo in Genoese dialect :
By selling necklaces of nuts and sweets
in the streets of Acquasanta, Garbo and Saint Cipriano,
with the wind and the sun, with water coming down in buckets,
to ensure the bread in my old age;
among the few money I've piled up those
to pass the time as far
while I am alive, an authentic inhabitant of Portoria
Caterina Campodonico (The Paisan)
1881
From my memory, if you like,
you people that pass by, wish me peace.

Hemingway's House in Key West and the African Queen at Key Largo, Florida Keys.
Ernest Miller Hemingway lived in Key West for more than ten years.
He was an American author and journalist. His economical and understated style had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his life of adventure and his public image influenced later generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954…
Hemingway had permanent residences in Key West, Florida, and Cuba during the 1930s and 1940s…
The "African Queen' used in the 1951 film of the same name, starring Katherine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart, at her home in Key Largo, Florida Keys.
'....let's jump back to 1912 to England where this 30-foot, steam-powered vessel was built. From England she was sent to Africa where she served as a riverboat near Stanley Falls hauling hunters and light cargo on the Ruiki River, a branch of the Congo.
In 1950, John Huston needed just such a boat for his film, found this one in Africa, and that was the beginning of her fame. Actually, it was the film's art director, John Hoesli, who found the boat--the Steam Launch (S/L) Livingstone--in Butiaba, Uganda, a town on the east shore of Lake Albert.
Renamed the African Queen, after the film's production she went back to work as a river boat.'

There are many cats in and around the Hemingway House property. This cat, with markings resembling the actor Charlie Chaplin, was a star attraction in 2004. The cats may or may not be related to cats from Hemingway's time.
I had to wait a long time before this cat faced me for a photo.

All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.
- Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), "Old Newsman Writes", Esquire, December 1934
Library Way stretches from Fifth Avenue to Park Avenue along East 41st Street, creating a promenade to the New York Public Library Humanities and Social Sciences Library. The project was initiated by the Grand Central Partnership (GCP), who in conjunction with the New York Public Library (NYPL) and New Yorker Magazine, convened a panel of literary experts in 1996 to select quotations from prominent works of literature. The quotes were then brought to life by artist Gregg LeFevre in ronze plaques installed in regular intervals in the sidewalks.
Ernest Hemingway helping a Spanish soldier unjam his rifle during the battle for Teruel, 1937. Image from the JFK library. Note what appears to be a binocular on the ground below Hemingway's right forearm. Given Hemingway's use of the Turita at other times, when viewing a lower resolution copy of this picture I had thought this binocular was most likely a Turita. However, the above higher resolution photograph reveals that if this object is a binocular (which I believe it is) it is most likely a Moeller similar to this one: www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/5207705678/in/photolist-8W...
See View 1 - www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/7027520571/in/photostream - for notes about the Zeiss Turita Hemingway is known to have used.
Any further information readers could provide about Hemingway's use of Zeiss Turita or Moeller binoculars in particular photographs of him with one or quotes from his works would be most welcome.
Revised: December 29, 2013
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 .
A gift from Marlene Dietrich.
"Dearest Marlene: I always love you and admire you and I have all sorts of mixed up feelings about you […] please know that I love you always and forget you sometimes as I forget my heart beats. But it beats always.”
The letter was addressed to Marlene Dietrich and written by Ernest Hemingway, one of many he sent to her over their 30 years of friendship.
It’s signed “Love, Mister Papa” and was written on Aug. 12, 1952 — a couple of months after Hemingway finished writing "The Old Man and the Sea."
I recently moved. Books are not exactly in the order I want them to be. Hemingway ended up everywhere.
La Plaza del Castillo (Gazteluko Plaza en euskera) es una plaza situada en el centro de Pamplona (Navarra). En ella tienen lugar los principales acontecimientos de dicha ciudad y está considerada como "el cuarto de los pamploneses.
HistoriaTambién llamada durante un período Plaza de la Constitución, su nombre actual ha sido siempre más conocido y tiene historia. El primer castillo, fue mandado construir en el centro de la plaza, por el rey Luis el Hutin, entre 1308 y 1311. Cuando se reconstruyeron las murallas, para rodear toda la ciudad, este castillo quedaba demasiado dentro de la ciudad, y Fernando el Católico, manda levantar en 1513, utilizándose las piedras del Viejo castillo, desaparecido hacia 1540. Finalmente, hacia 1590, con la Ciudadela ya en construcción avanzada, se tiró este último castillo. La plaza ya estaba delimitada por tres de sus lados, menos el lado sur, en el cual, las carmelitas descalzas, construyeron un monasterio que cerró la plaza. Las obras acabaron hacia 1600.
Fue coso taurino desde el s. XVII hasta 1843 [cita requerida]. La plaza es fruto de construcciones de distintas épocas, por lo que puede apreciarse la gran variedad de estilos, siendo una plaza muy variopinta, y de gran solera.
A finales del XVIII, la plaza, fue decorada con una hermosa fuente de Luis Paret a la Abundancia, popularmente llamada la MariBlanca, que fue derribada en 1910, conservándose solo la estatua. En 1836, las Carmelitas Descalzas, se vieron obligadas, a abandonar el convento, con la Desamortización de Mendizábal. Aquí se construirían el Palacio de la Diputación, el antiguo Crédito Navarro, y el Teatro Principal, todos de estilo neoclásico. En 1859, se instauró el Hotel La Perla, todavía presente en un rincón de la plaza, y el más antiguo de Navarra.
Entre 1880 y 1895, se instauraron el Casino Principal, y Café Iruña, con un aire romántico de fin de siglo, que aún conservan. Otros muchos cafés proliferaron en esta época. Por esta plaza pasaba el Irati en 1911. Con la construcción del Segundo Ensanche, el Teatro Principal, tuvo que retroceder, para abrir paso a la gran apertura de la ciudad, en 1931.
En 1943, se colocó el famoso y querido quiosco de música.
Vista de la Plaza del CastilloRecientemente se ha rehabilitado la "belena del Iruña", una callajuela larga y estrecha sin salida, hasta ahora residual y utilizada en otros tiempos para acceder a los locales que daban a calles más importantes.
Spotted in Waterstones shop in Northallerton on a mid-week lunching expedition with my wife Joy. (Not in picture). Its a nice sentiment but I suspect my dog would beg to differ!

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.
