Hemingway's Bathroom

While in Key West we visited Hemingway's House. It was very interesting. He had a gorgeous place in Key West that he refurbished from a old mansion in disrepair. (Aside: 'disrepair" is an odd word. "repair" means to fix, but "pair" doesn't mean fix. So repair, doesn't follow the language of  repaint, or reboard, or remind. And there for "disrepair" seems to imply a double negative (dis and re) to get back to the positive or pair, which is not what disrepair means at all. Go figure.)

Anywho, one of the fixes was to the bathroom floor, which has some lovely deco-ish tile. Take a look and then realize there are fish and birds in the patterns.

He was also a fan of six-toed cats. Apparently a friend had one and when it had kittens, they gave one to Hemingway. He then had more and more so that now there is a plethora of six toed cats roaming the grounds.
