Day 5 and a quiz
For the past 2 weeks we hosted our good friends from Germany. We knew that they were both athletic and adventurous, but they totally wore us out!!! For the next few days I will show you just some of the things we did on their vacations!
I will end this series with our weekend escapade to Key West. What can I say about the Conch Republic besides its being the southernmost city in the continental United States?
It assaults all of your senses: it is funky and sexy and oh, so tropical...For more, visit here .
I will combine this post with the old perennial favorite (!) - Quiz Tuesday# 41. Today's question: Can you guess where this photo was taken?
Here are some clues: 1. yes, we are still in Key West, and 2. some of those cats are polydactyl...

You obviously have some very energetic guests! Hard to keep up with them, I reckon.
Where was the pic taken... from a charming balcony, but where, I have no idea!
I know!! I know!! Oh, what did I win?
It's Hem's house (where he moved after he left Hadley & Paris).
I love the shot of the yard - great.
It's a home for cats that have 6 toes per foot.
Well...I never....
I haven't heard of polydactyl cats before AND that Hemingway was a polydactyl lover AND has a home for them!
It's wonderfully eccentric.
At first, I didn't think you were in Florida, because there are roses on the table - I didn't think roses would survive in Florida.
Captain Bastard?
Yeah, I think I know him!
I would of course also have guessed Hemmingway as I know that you would not make the question too difficult. But obvioulsy it's too late to propose something; nikon already won!
Yes, Nikon wins the prizes. But it is a nice photo and a reminder of a place we never visited.
Always a parodox to me - the great hunter was an animal lover.
He collected stray cats & dogs when he lived in Cuba, too.
:) i can recognize that place even in my sleep!
My dream - to visit Key West - and I know everyone goes to visit Hemingway's place but I so want to do that too. I'll go along with everyone else on the answer. Lovely post. I presume whoever looks after Hemingway's house/museum provides the flowers.
I left a response on Menton DP, Isabella, but no, I've not heard of fruit falling off the floats onto people. I did read the moveable floats are covered in wire to prevent people stealing the fruit but I didn't see any fine wire at the parade.
You can pick 'em off the trees in Menton, so no one would both off a float and anyway they are a bit squashed with the rubber bands. Also they are Spanish and the Menton fruit is 'apparently' better!
both should read bother...ooops.
After 7 years living in Key West I know everyone of all the cats in hemingways house...LOL...
Ah, a day late and a dollar short--story of my life. Of course, Nikon is correct, and when I saw the photo and your commentary, I was going to urge you to send an email to him. He's ready on the mark, tho. (Do you like all my cliches??)
PS. I hope that you took lots of photos to send to Nikon; he'd love it!!
Kate's right on the mark (of course!). Didja' take a lot of photos for ME?
Oh, yes, Good old Ernie's house. . .my favorite author.
BTW. . .Yes. . .LV is on my mind a lot these days.
Congratulations Nikon! But I would expect nothing less from you ;-)
Of course I thought of you while touring Hem's house and did take lots of photos, but the link provided in my next post duplicates them all...
Thanks all for playing along!
