We went on a lot of vacations to the Keys growing up. I have great memories from all of them, but curiously couldn't recall a single thing about the Hemingway House. This is extra strange because my father always read odd books to us in the evenings (Hiroshima, The Old Man and the Sea, Moby Dick to name a few), our family loves cats, and museums are our jam! To quote my mother "we never went because it was too expensive and we are cheap". After touring it we realized that the whole house is a SHAM so she was super pleased that we hadn't missed any culture or anything. The house is interesting structurally, but not anything special. The majority of the wall art has been "donated by the artist" which means its bullshit. Our new goal is to get something accepted into a fancy tour house or museum. I think it's possible, and I am excited to see what happens. The highlight, for me, was the cat interaction. I love cats man. These cats are spoiled and pandered to, and as a result they are even more ridiculous than cats normally are.
Verdict: no matter how much you miss your cat it's not worth paying $13 a person to get ignored by famous ones.
