This past weekend Hemingway Days took place in Key West, Florida. It is held there every year around Hemingway's birthday, which is July 21st. There is a street festival, a Hemingway lookalike contest, a fishing tournamnet, and a "running of the bulls," as seen in the above photograph that I took from a news story about it on WPTV (West Palm Beach) Saturday night. It appears to be more like the running of the Hemingways instead of the running of the bulls, but it does look like it was a fun event, although a little crowded. When my sister Susan and I take back our condo in Stuart, Florida (which we have been renting out for 14 years now) from our tenants next August, we can hopefully attend this event, if not next July, the one after. Of course, a hotel room there is not cheap, especially on Hemingway Days weekend, and so it might involve camping out in the car over the weekend. Sounds like fun to me!
