  1. Hey Austin, I actually thought about going to this site for my visit. However, I decided on another place instead. I am glad you ended up going so I could see what I missed out on. Maybe I will take my partner one of these days he loves this type of stuff.

  2. At one point in my life, I would have found visiting a military museum boring and uninteresting. After learning so much about the past, I can genuinely say that now I feel differently. What made me decide to click on your post was the layout because it looked creative and easy to read, also your pictures were great to look at. The WW2 switchboard was the picture I most enjoyed seeing. To think that at one point, a long time ago someone would sit at this desk and work! I also enjoyed the photo of the planes, these models show me how small these planes really were and how brave someone would have to be to sit by themselves on this plane, fly it in the sky, and occasionally shoot at other planes. Thank you for sharing this visit with all of us!

  Hemmingway house, Key West Florida Ernest Hemingway was an American novelist from the 20th Century. He had many accomplishments including the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature. “Hemingway lived in Illinois and wrote for the newspaper office in Kansas City at the age of seventeen” (Kauffman Voting Rights Act of 1965). Ernest’s Primary Residency was in Key West Florida where he and his wife Pauline and their two kids lived. One of the most famous things about the house in today’s day is the famous 6 toes cats. When Hemingway died, he left the house to the cats where over 50 cats live today! Hemingway moved to the keys because he was an avid fisherman and everyone knows the keys in a fishing dream. Sadly, his boat, Pilar, is in a museum in Cuba so we did not get to see that! Ernest was notorious for having several wives and during the tour, there were a lot of funny stories regarding his Ex-wives! One is how Pauline sold his boxing ring and replaced it by having the biggest pool in F...

  Florida’s history is much richer than American history than I would have ever imagined. Florida was home to some of the most fascinating groups of people including but not limited to; Indian tribes including the Calusa tribes, Florida crackers, and of course the Seminole tribe. The Calusa tribe was my favorite group personally. Their way of life and how they survived on such a unique ecosystem in the Florida everglades is very fascinating. Florida played a huge part in the civil war as well as the social development of America with huge tourist attractions and perfect “winter weather” for all the snowbirds coming flocking down. Florida had a lot of dynamics involving race and gender. Indians inhabited Florida from the start, particularly the Calusa tribe. In 1500 when a white man attempted to explore Florida, a guy named Ponce De Leon, but had many confrontations and ran the white people out! Ponce De Leon later returned and was injured in a battle with the Calusa tribe to late...
