This post is a little late and perhaps a bit early. Just after posting about the Hemingway House and Museum in Key West, FL we watched the HBO movie Hemingway and Gellhorn on demand T.V. And wow is the home accurately portrayed in the movie. Remember the antelope head on the wall in my blog photo? There it was on the living room wall in the movie. And those enormous green shutters, and the cats? All there. The home came alive in the movie. When I visited the totally distracting actor / guide and crowds made that impossible.
Watching the movie I was sorry to see Ernest leave his wife Pauline in Key West to go off to the Spanish Civil War - no more views of the house! Well perhaps that's not true. We haven't yet finished the movie. Maybe they'll go back to the Key West home at the end of the movie. Better keep watching.

- At a crossroad in life, the road forward weaves back to interests,passions not fully explored. Shall I count Colonial Williamsburg at 10 as my first encounter with history at home? Or was it as late as 1970 when my roommate and I scaled the walls of an uninhabited castle in the Swedish countryside? Looking back is fun but there's so much new to see and learn. Come with me.
