The Old Man and the Sea
Okay, this guy may not look real old, but he looks kinda old, and it's the best that I could come up with while rummaging around the house for an old man (other than myself, of course). :-)
For Macro Monday, My Favorite Novel (Fiction)
HMM
A favorite of writer Ernest Hemingway in the 1930's, Sloppy Joe's Bar on Duval Street continues offering cold beers and good times at its historic location which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. Key West, Florida, USA.
Sloppy Joe's Bar, uno de los favoritos del escritor Ernest Hemingway en la década de 1930, sobre Duval Street continúa ofreciendo cervezas frías y buenos momentos en su ubicación histórica que fue agregada al Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en 2006. Key West, Florida, Estados Unidos.
I am participating in a challenge presented by a local used book & record shop to "Redesign a Classic" book cover OR record album cover. I chose Hemingway's classic. I think he might have had a chuckle!
Coincidentally this week the theme of THE KOLLAGE KIT is BOOKS.
So I am killing two birds with one stone (I hate that saying!) : )
Not really... This is at 5:55 AM before the sunrise, but over the last ten months (during the pandemic) it has been closed numerous times! But it is back open again to the delight of tourists and locals alike, for it is our favorite bar and hangout! Long Live Sloppy Joe's!

Ernest Hemingway's favorite bar and daily local hangout
back in the day ~ Duval Street ~ Key West, Florida U.S.A.
This famed street is a beautiful confluence of art and culture,
history and heritage, exuberant celebrations, and a dash of
debauchery. Hey, these bars jam until 4 a.m. and there are
more than 100 bars in 15 blocks! There are more 'bars' per-
capita on Key West than in any other city in the United States!
We have enjoyed many great nights here with friends, and
food, and drink, during our annual pilgrimage over 45 years...
We're in there every night! They have the best bands on the island that come here from all over the country. When I talk to them in between sets, they all say they're here for one reason; it's not the money, it's to get out of the cold and have some fun! Rock On!
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.

The Grand Hotel in Stresa in 1948 American author and journalist Ernest Hemingway visited the town. He had set part of his 1929 novel "Farewell to Arms" in the Grand Hotel des Iles Borromees.
The Old Man and the Book
El vell i el llibre
ESP
Estoy seguro que Ernest Hemingway etaría de acuerdo que libros, marinos, barcos, botes, cordeles y el mar comparten leyendas e historias: una de ellas es “El viejo y el mar”.
ENG:
I am sure that Ernest Hemingway would agree that books, sailors, vessels, boats, cordeles and the sea share legends and stories: one of them is “The Old Man and the Sea”.
CAT:
De ben segur que Ernest Hemingway estaria d’acord en què llibres, mariners, vaixells, barques, cordills i la mar comparteixen llegendes i històries: una de les quals és “El vell i la mar”.
have you ever said to yourself,
hey, i wish Homer had written
more fishing stories,
you know,
even though he was blind and
there're no salmon
in the Agean Sea, and all,
but i bet you have,
i mean, old Hemingway
he wrote about every fish he ever caught
but Homer, we got nothing ...
ok, ok, ok, ...
maybe you haven't ever said that to yourself,
but i have
and i been researching it on wikipedia
and found this here
Homeric fishing fragment
which was painted
on the side of one a them vases:
"At the point of death, the Salmon, its sides flashing,
said, "I know you well, Mackhilles, dear to Zeus --
I see my fate before me.
Never a chance that I could win you over ...
Iron inside your chest, that heart of yours.
But now beware, or my curse will draw god's wrath
upon your head,
that day when Paris and lord Apollo --
for all your fishing heart -- destroy your boat
at the Gates of Rogue!"
Death cut the Salmon short. The end closed in around it.
Flying free of its fins, bronze hook in its jaws,
its soul sent winging down to the House of Death,
wailing its fate, leaving its fishhood far behind,
its young and supple strength. But brillant Mackhilles
taunted the Salmon's body, dead as it was, "Die, die!"
For my own death, I'll meet it freely -- whenever Zeus
and the other deathless gods would bring it on!"
Book 22: 418-32
of The Mackiad
by Homer

The famous coctail served in "El Floridita" bar. Both the coctail and the bar were the favorites of Ernest Hemingway. The coctail was too sweet for my taste, but it was worth the visit. La Habana, Cuba.
L’imposante bâtisse qui a survécu aux ouragans et tempêtes de Floride est presque totalement enveloppée dans un environnement tropical. Les jardins entourant la maison sont luxuriants, un véritable havre de paix. Au milieu de ceux-ci on peut prendre le temps de se promener le long de la piscine et de profiter du parfum des gardénias qui fleurissent au bord de l'eau. Construite vers 1937-1938 pour la somme mirobolante de 20 000 dollars de l’époque (250.000$ actuels). C’était la première piscine enterrée de Key West et la seule et unique piscine de 100 miles. La piscine a une capacité gigantesque de 80 784 gallons alors qu’il n'y avait pas d'eau courante à Key West au moment de la mise en service. La construction de la piscine impliqua de forer jusqu'à la nappe phréatique et d'installer une pompe à eau pour récupérer l'eau salée afin de remplir la piscine. Il fallait deux à trois jours pour remplir complètement la piscine. En blaguant à propos du coût exorbitant de sa construction, Hemingway, un jour, sortit de sa poche une pièce d’un penny, l’enfonça dans le ciment encore frais du patio et annonça an riant, "Voilà mon dernier penny!" Les touristes peuvent encore voir cette pièce de monnaie, encastrée dans le dallage, dans le coin nord-est de la piscine.
The imposing building that survived Florida hurricanes and storms is almost completely wrapped in tropical surroundings. The gardens surrounding the house are lush, a real haven of peace. In the middle of these you can take the time to stroll along the pool and enjoy the scent of gardenias that bloom at the water's edge. Built around 1937-1938 for the staggering sum of $ 20,000 of the time (current $ 250,000). It was the first in-ground pool in Key West and the one and only 100-mile pool. The pool has a gigantic capacity of 80,784 gallons when there was no running water in Key West at the time of commissioning. The construction of the pool involved drilling down to the water table and installing a water pump to recover the salt water to fill the pool. It took two to three days to completely fill the pool. Joking about the exorbitant cost of building it, Hemingway one day pulled out a penny from his pocket, stuck it in the still cool cement on the patio and laughed, "This is my last penny!" Tourists can still see this coin, embedded in the paving, in the northeast corner of the pool.
Sloppy Joe's Bar, located in the downtown commercial section of Key West, Florida, occupies a building constructed in 1917 as the Victoria Restaurant. It became the home of Sloppy Joe's Bar in 1937. It is located in the heart of the Key West Historic District (added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 & expanded in 1983) at the southwest corner of Greene & Duval Streets. During the Prohibition Era, the original Sloppy Joe's Bar, located just a block from this location, operated as a "speakeasy" under several names such as the Blind Pig & the Silver Slipper. One of the constant patrons of the original Sloppy Joe's Bar was Ernest Hemingway, who later moved his custom to the new location. Oral tradition says that it was Hemingway who encouraged Joe Russell, owner of Sloppy Joe's, to change the name of his bar to "Sloppy Joe's," after a similarly named "watering hole" in Havana, Cuba where the two spent much of their time fishing. The new Sloppy Joe's Bar (seen here) on Duval Street opened officially on May 5,1937. The new bar became the favorite drinking establishment of Hemingway and his "mob" of semi-celebrity friends, mainly writers and artists that had come to make Key West their winter home. These included writer John Dos Passes, artists Mike Strater and Waldo Pierce, Captain Eddie Saunders, and journalist Martha Gellhorn, who later became Hemingway's third wife. Today, Sloppy Joe's remains an internationally famous entertainment landmark in Key West that is popular among local residents and tourists alike. And, its owner sponsors many activities related to the history of the island and the life of its most famous patron, Ernest Hemingway, including the annual Hemingway Look-A-Like contest in mid-July each year.
Along with being included in the Key West Historic District listing on the National Register of Historic Places, Sloppy Joe's was also added on its own on November 1, 2006. All the information above and much more can be read on the original submission documents that are found here: npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/AssetDetail/e866aa84-9fdc-4dd3-b33...

Once again, a shot taken in Cuba two years ago, but only just processed. Hemingway's country house has been preserved well...the gardens, definitely not. Still, a romantic and fascinating spot. Think of the history there!

Sloppy Joe's in Key West Florida was a favorite hangout of Ernest Hemingway. The Hemingway look-a-like contest was being held while we were there, though we didn't go inside as the place was packed. We did however see a lot of the contestants walking around Key West.
If you've never heard of this place read it's history here
(I am exhausted and will visit when I feel human again)

Blue Heaven restaurant in Bahama Village Key West. Back in the day this is where Ernest Hemingway used to box and is a very short walk from Hemingway's House which is open to the public
Built in 1851, Ernest Hemingway and his 2nd wife, Pauline Pfeiffer, bought this Spanish-style house in 1931 and renovated it. They lived in it until 1939 when they divorced and he moved to Havana, Cuba. They liked it for it's extensive grounds and quiet isolation. They built a large swimming pool at great expense when almost no-one else on Key West had one. It was expensive because the workers had to pickaxe their way into the hard coral base that underlies the island.
Key West, Florida
That is definitely not Ernest Hemingway photobombing my shot. No way would Hemingway wear a shirt like that.

god and the buddhas
merge onto highway 62
in a bel-air nomad
it’s early
not even 4 a.m.
yet the 18-wheelers
are already rolling
god is
sipping black coffee
from the lid
of a stainless steel thermos
a lit lucky strike
between the fingers
of his left hand
which is also
gripping the wheel
the three buddhas are
sitting in the back
eating maple bars
“turboglide, baby,”
says god with a grin
as they accelerate
“with fuel injection
and solid lifters, i might add,”
“listen to that,”
says god,
“it tells you the universe
is in harmony”
“you ever read
zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance?”
god asks the buddhas
who are sitting,
licking the icing from their fingers
and wadding up the waxed paper
they shake their heads no
“pretty good book,” says god
“nevertheless, a ’57 chevy has
buddha nature,” say the buddhas
“fucking A, buddhas,” says god
“it’s a shame to be up this early
and not be going fishing,”
say the buddhas
“well, i want to look at some rocks,”
says god
soon, however, the buddhas are asleep
“sleepest thou?” god smiles
“couldest not thou watch one for one hour?”
“i’ll wake them later,” god thinks to himself
and he recalls the old man and the sea:
“the boy was asleep on a cot
in the first room
and the old man could see him clearly
with the light that came in
from the dying moon.
he took hold of one foot gently
and held it until the boy woke
and turned and looked at him.
the old man nodded
and the boy took his trousers
from the chair by the bed and,
sitting on the bed, pulled them on.”
“ah, hemingway,” god says to himself
now, well within the ambit
of joshua tree national park
god pulls to the side of the road
near the jumbo rocks
and, in turn, takes hold of one foot
of each of the buddhas, holding it
until each awakes
from his otherworldly slumbers
by the light of a dying moon
through the windshield of a ’57 chevy
they behold the remnants
of a long-eroded mountain range
formed two billion years earlier
on a now non-existent
super-continental landmass
long before the existence of life
and conscious thought
“don’t tell me,” says god,
“they have buddha nature”
“we were thinking more like nirvana,”
say the buddhas
god notices
the wind has ceased to blow
dawn

A emblemática Calle de la Estafeta, no coração histórico de Pamplona, é mundialmente famosa por ser palco crucial do "encierro" durante as festas de San Fermín, em julho. Nesta altura, a rua transforma-se num corredor de adrenalina, onde touros correm em direção à praça de touros, uma tradição com raízes no século XIV e imortalizada por Ernest Hemingway.
Fora do período festivo, a Estafeta revela o seu carácter quotidiano: uma via pedonal vibrante, com intensa atividade comercial e social. Ladeada por edifícios de arquitetura tradicional, adornados com varandas em ferro forjado, a rua convida a explorar as suas lojas, bares de pintxos e restaurantes, frequentados tanto por locais como por visitantes. O pavimento em pedra e a arquitetura preservada ecoam a rica história desta artéria que, outrora, no século XVIII, acolheu o primeiro serviço de correios da cidade, perpetuando o nome "Estafeta".
The emblematic Calle de la Estafeta, in the historic heart of Pamplona, is world famous for being a crucial stage of the "encierro" during the San Fermín festivities in July. At this time, the street turns into an adrenaline corridor, where bulls run towards the bullring, a tradition with roots in the 14th century and immortalized by Ernest Hemingway.
Outside the festive period, Estafeta reveals its daily character: a vibrant pedestrian street, with intense commercial and social activity. Flanked by buildings of traditional architecture, adorned with wrought iron balconies, the street invites you to explore its shops, pintxos bars and restaurants, frequented by locals and visitors alike. The stone pavement and preserved architecture echo the rich history of this artery that, in the 18th century, hosted the city's first post office, perpetuating the name "Estafeta".
