Hemingway's House

Ernest Hemingway is one of my favorite authors. Maybe its because The Old Man and The Sea reminds me of Pa or maybe its because Pa tells so many stories about Hemingway. When Pa was a child, Hemingway lived in Key West and had the only pool on the island. So when we went to Key WEst last fall, I felt the need to see Hemingway's home and the pool.

Grandpa and his buddies would scale the fence at the back of the property to swim in the pool. At that time, the butler lived in the small house (now a gift shop) on the property and would lean out the window to yell at the boys before chasing them from the property.
