Description

The island of Key West, Florida is filled with architecture full of charm, like these 2 homes which are in the typical Key West design: a 2-story porch, picket fence, shutters, etc. Riding down the street you can see many cute homes, some are painted in bright happy colors. Key West has a rich history.

These homes are on Whitehead Street next door to the Hemingway House. Ernest Hemingway lived here in the early 1900's and was a renowned writer who had 6-toed cats roaming his property. His home has a two-story wrap around porch and the first pool built on the island. It sits on the highest elevation on the island and is surrounded by lush tropical gardens. Ernest had a writing office on the second floor of a small building behind his home.

Across the street is the lighthouse. Key West is a fun place to visit and is a great place for walking and biking down its historic streets. At Mallory Square many people gather at sunset each night for a sunset celebration of street performers and vendors.

My husband and I stopped here in Key West on the way to Europe. We put everything in storage to travel Europe, it was quite an adventure! We loved Key West!

You can read about our adventure in Europe in my husband's book, "Vagabonds in France", by Michael A. Barry. Come with us as we lose our home, put everything in storage, and navigate through Europe for a few months with no return date or home to come back to. Sail across the Atlantic, dodge pickpockets, climb mountains, descend into the Paris Metro, endure nasty weather and illness, witness the flood of the century, and meet some wonderful and not-so-wonderful people. Chuckle with us as we live among the French and try to learn their ways and language. Then make it back home to an empty house we'd never seen before. The book with its 75 illustrations is available in both paperback and Kindle on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCUNSEK .
