We met “Papa” Ernest Hemingway at his house, learned about his life, saw his writing space, and now understand a bit more about this famous man. My oldest reads Old Man and the Sea next year, so I figured it was only fitting for her to see his Key West house.

The surrounding tropical gardens are full of more than fifty of the descendants of his original polydactyl cat, and the view is lovely of the lighthouse and Royal Poinciana trees.

Despite his drunkenness and love of women, he seems like a pretty remarkable man who found a pretty remarkable house. 🤓
