"One morning, Hemingway was walking in Obispo Street, one of the busiest streets in Havana, where both the Floridita and the Ambos Mundos Hotel are located. Coming to the corner of Obispo and Monserrate Streets, he couldn't resist the charm of the Floridita, which called him with its munificent bar of precious hard wood. The open doors invited him to come in."

The El Floridita bar in Havana ,Cuba is one of Hemingways well known local haunts. He spent a lot of time there writing and of course - drinking. I enjoyed Cuba and plan to go back there before the Americans come in and fuck it up good like they did the rest of latin America.
See you on the trail!
