Ernest Hemingway, America's Noble prize-winner for literature wrote and lived in this beautiful house in the Old Town of Key West. Many of his famous novels were completed here, like 'In another Country' or 'Whom the Bell Tolls'.

I'm a huge fan of him, so it was natural for me to visit his home when I stayed in Key West. The whole place is full of history, full of his belongings and spirit. There were several tours organized, and the guides must have been Hemingway fans too, because they spoke of him with such interest, and they answered your questions eagerly. It was a worthwhile visit, and I'm really glad I did it.

There are also more than 50 cats living near the house, we saw many of them roaming the gardens and the surroundings. I wish we could have taken one home! :)Reply

Key West Sights

Key West’s living coral reef, a short distance away from the island in the Dry Tortugas National Park, is a huge hit with the tourists. The reef-area has abundant marine life. Of course, the Dry Tortugas, being tropical islands, in fact, the last islands in the chain of keys, are themselves very attractive. (The presence of the 19th century coastal fort, Fort Jefferson, in Dry Tortugas also [...]
