YEP, another year has shot by and we’re again back celebrating one of our favorite authors, Ernest Hemingway. Maybe we just like his Michigan connection, an excuse for us sneak up to Hemingway country in Petoskey and environs. Away from urban civilization as we know it.

WE were there this May, encountering a Hemingway statue–

–and examining the pier in Harbor Springs where the boat from Chicago carrying the young Hemingway would dock–

–or staying in the exact same hotel in Petoskey that young Ernest Hemingway boarded at–

–drinking at taverns with trademark Hemingway atmosphere–

–reading Hemingway novels–

–then closing the day with a Petoskey Michigan sunset.
