a south american friend & his esposa went to havana, cuba and gave me his photos to share.

 

this thread is about two ernest hemingway haunts in habana vieja (old havana) - enjoy!

 

 

 

the first is the hotel ambos mundos (both worlds hotel) on calle obispo (bishop street)

this is where hemingway lived for many years before moving out to la finca vigia (lookout farm)
