to me this is an amazing, unusual, and interesting place to visit. Being a Hemingway fan it is always interesting to gain insights into how someone like him lived, and to learn of some of his exploits. The 6 toed cats are always fun, and the grounds are lush and tropical. Also, a scene from the James Bond movie "License to Kill" was filmed on the property, just prior to his resigning and M demanding his weapon back -- and to those who know Hemingway, when Bond says, "I guess you can say this is a 'Farewell to Arms" just before leaping from the balcony gives it an added flair lol.
我走在北纬24.5度的阳光里,棕榈与榕的林梢凸现一座灯塔,白墙黑顶,被绿树蓝天簇拥着,越发显得聪慧而淡定。是它么?当酷爱豪饮的海明威醉意朦胧地离开酒吧的时候,就是这位无言的朋友指引着一代文豪回家的路?……
轻轻敲开海明威的门——WHITEHEAD ST.街907号,围墙中弥漫出酽酽的绿荫,踏进小院,满眼是绿树繁花,偶尔有丝丝缕缕耀眼的阳光穿透,显得静谧而安详。不长的甬道尽头,掩映在树盖和花影中的是一座西班牙风格的二层小楼,柠檬黄色墙壁草绿色窗棂墨蓝色屋顶,于默默中传递给人一种深邃与悠远。
拾级登上台阶,走进散发着古老气息的每一个房间,人也就顺着那并不古老的笔触感受到阵阵思想的海风。窗前褪色的长椅、墙上泛黄的旧照,甚至还有酣睡在床上的猫咪,都会将主人传奇的一生娓娓向你述说……
海明威的花园也很美,规划的很舒服,里面有一个猫的墓地,里面有许多往生的猫的名字牌,可以看到大部分的猫都是用名人的名字去命名的
