Although born in Illinois, thousands of tourists (me included) visit the Key West home of Ernest Hemingway every year.

Ernest, the ultimate literary badass, wrote the majority of his life's work in a den built behind the house.

The summer after I graduated high school, a group of friends and I took a road trip to Key West.

When we arrived at the Hemingway home, it had already been closed so we decided to come back the next day.

Little did we know that the next day would be the 40th anniversary of Ernest's suicide (insert Twilight Zone music here).

The trip was good times and we saw the gazillion kitty cats that live at the house, all descendants of Ernest's pets.
